Location	Near Court Manor, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Court Square, downtown Harrisonburg, Virginia, take Route 11 North for 14.7 miles and turn right onto Route 795 (Fairview Church Road). Go 5/10th mile and church/cemetery is on the right side of the road.
Notes	Cemetery is well maintained. Rows were recorded starting with first row behind the church to the back of the cemetery. Facing the headstones, they were recorded from right to left. The majority of the notes in the "Remarks" column were provided by Mary A. Nelson. Ms. Nelson noted in 2003, "In the front middle section of the old part of the cemetery are some unknown graves according to the church records. There was a cemetery in the area prior to the church being built, 111 years ago."
