History
2
In 1845, pioneer farmer Peter Gillete sold a parcel of land to eighteen families for use as a burial ground. The Warren Union Cemetery Association was organized in 1852 to maintain the cemetery, which consists of two and one-quarter acres. Some of the headstone inscriptions are in German, and 325 of the graves date from the nineteenth century. Many of Warren's former public officials and many prominent citizens are buried here. Warren Union Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in the city.
