Dear Karen:
Here is the information I sent Eleanor, which seems to be what you're looking for.I've also included the Millers for your review:
CLINTON TWP
Fairview Cemetery
'Located on the Northwest border of Clinton Twp., Wayne Co. Ohio, on the crossroads of 290 and 104 about 2 1/2 miles south of Funk, Ohio.
This is a large cemetery and one of the most beautiful & best cared for in the county, with a beautiful view of the surrounding farmlands.
Fairview Cemetery Association was organized on June 16, 1876 with the Fairview Evangelical Church being built at this time on land given by William and Elizabeth Long.After 85 years the church was changed to the E.U.B. Church, with services continuing to be held at this inspiring church.The Hope Church at McZena, Ohio was the 'sister church' with its services beginning in 1840 at the John Jacob and Anna Catherine Spreng home.Their first church was built in 1850 with a cemetery beside the church.This cemetery was discontinued and the contents moved to Fairview in 1876 and are designated by an asterisk.Hope church has continued on as an Evangelical, and it's location is about 2 miles west in Ashland Co.Only 14 dedicated sextons have cared for these hallowed grounds in its 95 years of existence.'
