From History of Milwaukee, 1881
Union Cemetery is situated on the Cedarburg Plank Road. That line between Milwaukee City and Town divides the grounds. The association was organized 11 January 1865 and for 2 years was managed by a board of trustees chosen by the 2 congregations of Grace and St. John's churches. The grounds consist of 41 acres but on May 24 the Board of Trustees purchased 10 acres from an incorporated body consisting of members of the Trinity congregation. The association is now managed by a board of 9 trustees, consisting of 3 members each from each of the 3 congregations.
The grounds were selected & purchased by Rev. Mulhauser, J.H. Inbusch, Nic. Schoof, Charles Kieckhefer and Henry Dube. The original officers were: President Charles Kieckhefer; Secretary Nic. Shoof; Treasurer John Inbusch. The present officers (1880) are: George Brumder, Manager; Charles Kieckhefer, President; F. Richter, Secretary; John Inbusch, Treasurer.
The cemetery is maintained by the proceeds from the sale of lots. The cost of the grounds, buildings, and improvements is estimated at $20,000.
The 1st person interred in the cemetery was Maria Heitz 11 June 1865. The total number of interments from June 1867 to June 1880 was 9,863. They have recently purchased 24 acres, paying $13,700.
