CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

Fairview United Methodist Church was organized in 
the fall of 1t132 as a Methodist Protestant Church. The 
organization followed a six weeks meeting held in a brush 
arbor near Three and Twenty Creek, in upper Anderson 
County. The church was built near that place early the 
next spring. The church was a small log building with 
shudders for windows. This was the only Methodist 
Protestant Church in the area. The first pastors were 
circuit riders. In 1856, one of the members Mr. Billy 
Wilson gave the land to build a new church on a hill 
where they could get a Fairer View. That was why it is
called Fairview. The building was used until 1912, when 
another building with six Sunday school rooms was built. 
In 1939, they changed their name to Fairview United 
Methodist Church. In 1956, a recreation hall and four 
Sunday school rooms were added. Source: Article from
