Land for this cemetery was given to the Presbyterian Church by Charles and Nancy Wing in two deeds in 1825 and 1826, and one plot was deeded by Jas. Weir in 1827. In 1874, trustees of the church—Ephraim M. Brank, M. C. Hay, and Alney Dennis—deeded the cemetery to the city of Greenville. Ephraim M. Brank, a distinguished war hero of 1812, and other pioneer citizens of Greenville are buried here.
