Union Cemetery
aka
Twist or Union Twist Cemetery
SE 1/4 SW 1/4 Section 6, Twp. 14N, Range 7WNew Berlin Township
Sangamon County, Illinois
Directions: Driving north on the Waverly-New Berlin blacktop from Rte. 104, drive 6.5 miles to road 8S (right before the railroad crossing). Turn east (right) on to Union Cemetery Rd. The cemetery is 0.4 miles from the blacktop and sits on the north side of the road. The cemetery sits on a hill, is fenced and very well maintained, although there are a number of stones which are down and nearly covered with grass. There was a church formerly located near the cemetery (probably on the front part of the cemetery property with the cemetery situated behind it). The church reportedly burned in approximately 1912 and there is no sign today, that there was ever a structure in or near the cemetery.
This cemetery was re-read on January 25, 2002.
