Union Cemetery dates to 1855, when it was laid out beside the Union Primitive Baptist Church in the rural southwestern corner of Mitchell County. The old primitive Baptist congregation lent the burial ground its name, and with well over two hundred marked graves it stands among the county's older country cemeteries. Generations of area families have been laid to rest within its fenced grounds.
