"Fairview Baptist Church - In the southeast part of Nineveh Township. It was organized in 1845 as the Bethlehem Baptist Church, and so named for the Biblical town where Christ was born (Mat. 2:1). In 1875 Old Prairie and Bethlehem Churches united and formed Fairview Baptist Church, and in that year the present place of worship was erected two miles southeast of the old site and named for the town." ~ History of Lincoln County, 1888,Goodspeed, page 476; Williams N.E.
