The congregation disbanded in the early 1900's, and joined neighboring churches at Mt. Pisgah and Lanett. The cemetery is about 100 feet from a dirt road leading to the former site of the church building. It is surrounded by a fence and is fairly-well maintained, although many of the markers are illegible after years of exposure to the elements.
