The Seceder Church Cemetery was probably used prior to 1802, but that is the year of the first burial on record. The last burial recorded was 1874. The cemetery was used first by the Seceder Church congregation then it was transferred to the United Presbyterian Church congregation. Thus, the name changed to the "old U. P. cemetery or burial ground" in later years. 

In January,8 1934, Greenville borough decided to go to court to have the cemetery declared abandoned and the bodies removed from this site to the Shenango Valley Cemetery. The borough's intent was after removal of the bodies to create a public park and playground. The council records indicated there could be between 40 to 80 burials in the cemetery. 

 In March 1934, the court advertised the pending abandonment proceedings "giving friends and families of the interred permission to remove said remains as they desire before removal thereof by the Borough of Greenville, whereof, this is notice and to whom intention to so remove said bodies may be given".

There is no record how many remains were removed between March 14, 1934, and May 16, 1934 when the borough acted. We do have a record of 14 "bodies" re-interred in Shenango Valley Cemetery. An article in the Record Argus published May 17, 1934 read: "In opening 10 graves, only two were found with traces of the remains of the bodies placed there. In eight of the graves all traces of the coffin and body have long since disintegrated, bearing out the Biblical axiom of "dust to dust" The tombstones that remained in the cemetery were moved with these remains to Shenango Valley Cemetery. It is believed many unidentified bodies remained; never being moved. Tombstones had been removed from the cemetery for years and used as sidewalks.  

The cemetery measured 241 feet frontage on the east side of North High St., 100 ft frontage on the west side of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and 400 feet deep between these two boundaries. After the bodies were removed the borough extended North Second St through the property. For a time there was a park and playground on that property. 

St. Michael's Catholic Church now owns the property; acquiring it in approximately 1957. They have made part of it into a parking lot, placed their maintenance building on the east end, and left the middle area as a lawn. There is no sign or any reference to the cemetery where Greenville's early settlers laid their families to rest.
