The first known survey of this cemetery was done by noted genealogist Dr. Allan E. Marble on May 20, 1967. Per his usual procedure, he did not give the cemetery a name but instead assigned it an identifying number. For this cemetery, the number was 37. He initially recorded the location as "Bellisle" but later appears to have corrected that by adding "Granville Centre" beside the original name. Granville Centre is correct.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb. At that time, the volunteers named it "Wadeville Cemetery" but, in the Rootsweb cemetery index, they listed the name simply as "Wadeville". They recorded the location as Granville Centre.

Dr. Marble transcribed 201 headstones containing 428 inscriptions. The oldest identifiable stone is from 1821. This cemetery is active and, therefore, there are currently more headstones than when Dr. Marble surveyed this cemetery in 1967.

DIRECTIONS: The cemetery is located on the south side of South Side Drive at Civic #122. An arched sign is visible from South Side Drive. Follow the long laneway from the arched sign to the cemetery.
