The Community we now call Grove Hill was originally known as Oak Grove. On December 11th, 1879, Methodist Episcopal Trustees T.K. Taylor, William Clark and T.C. Cobb purchased four acres of land for $20 form William and Mary Allen to establish the Grove Hill School, Church and Cemetery. There is a separate deed for the purchase of one acre for $1 and the documents say it was originally earmarked for the church but since the church and cemetery adjoin it's more likey that the separate parch was used for the school instead because it was located a short distance away.

In May of 2021, the Grove Hill Cemetery Association purchased the Grove Hill United Methodist Church Building from the Methodist church. The building is now owned by the Association and used for Funerals and other events.

Grove Hill Cemetery Association www.grovehillcemeteryassociation.org is our website and it has our Database, Maps and Prequities listed there. Also provides additional historical information, photos and a place to donate.
