First church on the land - a log building - was erected in 1866. It also served as school. A second, frame structure was built 1891, named "Union Church." At same time the cemetery was renamed "Union." The premises were cared for yearly by local people until the "Union Cemetery Association" was formed in 1900 to maintain property and buildings.
