Subject: Fairview Cemetery? Is there a Fairview Cemetery in Burke County? There is a Cemetery by that name in Catawba County, but the names I am looking for do not appear on the Fairview Cemetery Index of names. Since Burke County's Cemetery Site is under construction I ask this question. Thank You, Ray

There is a Fairview Methodist Church Cemetery also known as Big Hill at Valdese; volume 1 of Cemeteries of Burke County.

William K. Houck, who had held a ten day revival in a brush arbor. The chapel was built in 1888 and named in his honor. He served this church from his home in Morganton for more than half a century. He preached his last sermon in April 1947 at the age of 92. The church is still used today. Houck's Chapel was placed in the Hickory Multiple Resource Nominations to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The cemetery surrounding the church is called Houck's Chapel Cemetery. The remainder of the cemetery is called Fairview Cemetery. It is now part of the Hickory City Cemeteries. ["Catawba County Cemeteries," Vol. 4, page 15.
