Fairview Presbyterian Church has been a significant location for the Walter Stewart Clan for many years, since long before the First Reunion in 1907. In 1855, 6 Reverend Clark Berry Stewart accepted a pastorate that he was to serve for his remaining active years through 1883, Fairview Presbyterian Church in lower Greenville County. This church, established in 1786, was in the midst of a very prosperous farming area and was rapidly outgrowing its limited facilities. In 1858, Clark Berry joined the dedication of a new and larger building, complete with two galleries. This building continues to serve an active congregation today, and has recently grown with the addition of a museum building. The Stewart Reunion is held here in alternate years (the even-numbered years). Many Stewart cousins, including Reverend Clark Berry Stewart, are buried in the adjacent cemetery.
