Mount Olivet Methodist Church was formed in 1846 28 years before Easley Became a Town. The church stood on the hill near the railroad tracks (Where Westview Cemetery is today 2016) The building stood until 1930 In 1885 The Church name was changed to Easley First Methodist. In 1930 the church built a new building on West 1st Ave. The First Methodist Church Continues present day. One source said the old church building and grounds was sold to the City Of Easley in 1927. This Cemetery became engulfed by the Westview Cemetery.
The first burial was for Mary Jane Folger in 1879 to the left of the building, followed by a grave for an infant of J.B. Clyde that was removed from Zion Methodist Church Cemetery Followed by Mrs Thomas Watson, and Robert Cook an Englishman who died in Dec 1879. These 4 graves stood in a row for a few years then by 1900 many more joined on the hill. Robert Cook's grave was enclosed by an iron fence and the Higgins plot also both remain fenced in 2016.

Note these graves may also be listed in Westview Cemetery but they are in fact a completely a separate graveyard. The exact boundries of the old church cemetery can be easily identified by the burial years.PLEASE DON'T TAG AS DUPLICATES NOR REQUEST THESE MEMORIALS BE DELETED. They were a church cemetery long before it became Westview Cemetery. Today 2016 the old building has been gone many years and no indicating plaque marks the site nor the actual church cemetery.
