I looked in my Cumberland County Cemeteries book (sorry, should have done this in the first place) and found that there was a Brick Church and Cemetery in West Fairview that no longer exists. I can see how this would be confused with the Brick Church on Enola Drive, since they are in very close proximity. There is another church in West Fairview, but right now I don't know the name of it. I saw it on a list of closed churches, some where on line and didn't save the link. I imagine if you google it, you will find it, if you're interested. (Google is how I found it.) Anyway, in the Cumberland County Cemeteries book, by Bob Davidson, the acknowledgements include "the ladies at the church in West Fairview." This would lead me to believe that the information in the book is fairly accurate, even if the church no longer exists. I believ! e the building is still there, now I'll have to check, just out of curiosity. It's possible the burial records and other church records exist. I would recommend contacting the Historical Society of East Pennsboro if you are interested in finding information about the Brick Church in West Fairview.
