York Center Cemetery is located at the junction of Rts 739 and 47, north of the town. I found no information about the cemetery in Beers' 1883 History of Union County, Ohio, which was a surprise as the cemetery was well established by the time the history was compiled. The cemetery was located behind McKendree United Methodist Church. When we visited the cemetery all that was left of the church was the sign and a hole filled with rubble from the recent demolition of the church building. McKendree Methodist Episcopal society, the predecessor of the recently demolished building, was established, according to Beers, "about 1838 at the residence of Gergory Storms." The first log church building was built about 1841 and another building was built at the same site in 1858. A steeple with a bell, probably the one shown in the photos of the sign, was added at a later date. York Center Cemetery is still an active and well cared for cemetery.

If you have photographs taken at this, or any Union County cemetery, I would be happy to add them to the appropriate page. Send them to .
