This cemetery was first called the Shetler Cemetery. It was established in 1864 when the second son of Emanuel P. and Lydia (Schoettler) Hershberger died at age six months. John was buried in the corner of a field that Lydia's brother, Joseph Shetler (Schoettler), owned. When it became the property of the East Union Mennonite Church, its name was changed. It is located across the road from the church and is used by Amish and Mennonite Churches. It is 3 miles north and 1/2 mile east of Kalona, Iowa. Numbering begins at the northwest corner. Plats begin at the north side, running south.
