UNION TOWNSHIP CEMETERY
Union Twp.

Source: A History and Biographical Cyclopaedia of Butler County, Ohio - 1882 - Page 515
     This cemetery was laid out in the Fall of 1870.  George Vinnedge, Perry Wright, and Abner Jackson were the trustees at that time.  They purchased an addition to the old yard, which had been in existence for fifty years, Making in all one of twelve and a quarter acres.  Frederick Wicke, Jacob Francis, and James Patchell, Jr., are the present board of officers.  J. W. Gerard, the sexton, has been in charge of these grounds since 1871.  The yard was formerly in a bad condition, owning to so much brush and undergrowth, but considerable attention has been paid to the grounds and walks of late, and it now presents as fine an appearance as any in the country outside of the large cities.  Three hundred persons have been buried in this yard, and an average of thirty deaths happens every year.  The ground is divided off into sections, four in number, and these again subdivided into lots, of which there are in all six hundred.  A good fence incloses the cemetery, and on the inside evergreen trees adorn the grounds and shade the drivers, giving the whole a handsome appearance.
