Fairview Methodist Church

Fairview Methodist Church was organized before 1876 and held services in a schoolhouse until W. F. and Jennie Mitchell and J. F. and Martha Prewitt gave the building site. A small red rock meeting house was then built and served until it was wrecked by a tropical storm in 1886. In 1891, during the pastorate of the Rev. A. J. King, the members built a frame structure, which in turn was wrecked by a storm in 1942. A third building was constructed in 1943 out of the ruins. The Fairview congregation merged with the Floresville church in 1955, and memorial services are held each year at Fairview Cemetery.
