In the mid 1920's Tripoli country club purchased the Daniel Small farmland, north of the cemetery. With this land they purchased the church land and East Granville School land. By that time, both the church and school had been abandoned and were falling down.
In 1969, Good Hope Rd was widened and the cemetery was destroyed to make way for the road. At that time there were approximately 54 burial plots and approximately 90 individual graves. The majority of the remains were re-interred in Wisconsin Memorial Park, Section C, Block 12. There is a bronze plaque designating the removal and rebuial. Other remains were removed to other cemeteries.
