New Union Cemetery
New Union Cemetery is located in section 7 of Washington Township in the south-central portion of Mercer County.
From Princeton, go west three miles to blacktop V and turn left. Go south approximately two miles to the second road to the right (gravel).
This road will go west a short distance, then turn south. Follow this road approximately one mile to where it makes a sharp turn to the right (west) just past the bridge. The access road to the cemetery is off to the left at this corner. The cemetery is accessable but is not maintained. The following list of burials at New Union Cemetery was compiled from various sources including old surveys, census records, family records and a visit to the cemetery in March, 2005.

Old Union Cemetery

Old Union Cemetery is located in section 12 of Madison township, in the southwest corner of Mercer County. It is just 1/2 mile north of the Grundy County line and is in a pasture on private property. The cemetery has not been maintained for several years and is now overgrown with brush, briars and tall grass. Many of the stones can no longer be found. From Modena, go south on blacktop A just over one mile to where the road makes a gradual "S" curve. Turn left (east) on the gravel road at the end of this turn and follow it a short distance to Brummitt (aka Prairie Ridge) Cemetery. The gravel road will circle the cemetery to the southeast, then will turn east and become a dirt road. This road is used almost exclusively by 4-wheel-drive vehicles and farm equipment and is rutted and washed out badly in many places (as of 2003). Old Union Cemetery is approximately 1/2 east and 1/4 south of this road. There is a gate that allows access to the cemetery through the pasture, but it is difficult to find if you don't know where to look. This list has been compiled from various sources including old surveys, burial records and family histories. It should not be considered a complete list of burials.

Old Yingling Cemetery
This little burial ground is located about 1/4 mile east of the Yingling Cemetery on the south bank of Sand Creek, Mercer County, Marion Twp. It is a few hundred feet from the old log cabin of John Yingling, which I believe is still standing. I have been told by family that at one time there was 6 stones there but these are the only two there at this time.
These graves were tabulated by Betty Berndt in June 1999.
