Site of Union Church organized in 1832 and in 1852 was renamed Bethlehem. It was the beginning of

what is now Bethlehem Presbyterian Church on Hwy 601 North in Fairview NC. Many of the church

records were lost when Elder John Long tried to cross Duck Creek in his buggy and was swept away

by high waters. Elder Rex Hovey shared this information with me during my visit to the cemetery

in September 2007. The cemetery is surrounded by a rock wall and is very well maintained. I am told

this is the oldest cemetery in Union County with the earliest burial being Lydia Long in 1810.
