- From Union's Heritage, a booklet by the Union
Church of Christ - "The church is listed in John T.
Brown's Churches of Christ as being organized in 1836.
The cemetery was established that same year." However,
records show (also from Union's Heritage) that the Union
Church of Christ Trustees purchased 3/4 acres of land
from Joseph Hunter & Jefferson Perkins for $6 in
1856. The first log church was built at that time. The
oldest marked grave in this record is that of Caleb
Perkins on 4-23-1865. See below for
additional information about unmarked
graves.
