J. F. Thurmond (1853-1945) and his wife Amanda Elizabeth Merrifield arrived in 1880 from Dallas County, Texas. In 1883, when an infant daughter died, Thurmond asked his brother Fred and neighbors to select a tract for a burial ground. They chose this spot next to the land Thurmond had given for a church and schoolhouse.
In 1913 Fairview Cemetery Association organized. In 1915 this plot became the "Thurmond-Fairview Cemetery". Still in use, the site has over 500 graves.
