Uniontown Cemetery
Location: On County Road 1150 N east of County Road 200 W, in Union Township, Wells County, Indiana.
The original introduction
states “The Uniontown Cemetery came into existence after the Uniontown Church
was built in 1830.Until this time most residents of this vicinity had used the
old Uniontown Cemetery which lies a short distance back of the present site.
At one time there was a small settlement here which was also called
Uniontown. The first person buried
in the new Uniontown Cemetery was Mrs. Samuel (Susannah) Nickelson, September
24, 1825. Data was compiled by Mrs.
Ival Allen and Miss Susan Allen.”
The
Evening News-Banner centennial edition
states “ Union township was the last township to be organized…not open for
settlement until 1846, having been a
part of the Miami Indian Reservation…first settlers…William Rosseau, James
Edmundson, Joseph Rich, Milton Davis, Jacob DeWitt, John Wandel, Joseph Davis
and E. Bagley”
C.
Brubaker walked this cemetery in 1999.
