9In 1960, people interested in Trinity organized the Trinity
Cemetery Association. The group soon began to want to restore the
church building, for by then it was badly in need of repair. Earl
Liverman supervised the restoration project and helped with the
work. When it was completed it looked much like it had when
constructed there in 1889.
When the Trinity Cemetery Association was organized the grounds
were cleaned and a chain link fence erected around the plot.
The church building and cemetery are located in the Grange Hall
Community, about a quarter mile west of the Grange Hall School.
Regular meetings of the Trinity Cemetery Association are held
annually on Saturday before Memorial Day.
