History

Fairview Cemetery is adjacent to and associated with Hall Memorial Baptist Church.

Hall Memorial Baptist Church, four miles northwest of Calhoun, was erected by freewill offerings of Gordon County people and others in honor of Rev. W. A. Hall, of Gordon County, who died in trying to save a man from suffocation in a gas-filled well at Fairview. The church was dedicated in 1914, at which time the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. M. L. Keith. The Carnegie fund for heroes recognized Mr. Hall’s daring deed by substantial rewards for his family.^[1]
