Transcribed from Mr. G. Herman Guy's Cemeteries in Chautauqua County, Kansas


The Union Chapel Cemetery is located along the south side of a county road in S33 — T32 — R11 in LaFayette Township. It is easily accessible and is well maintained. The Union Chapel or Church is on the corner east of the cemetery and a sign over the door identifies its founding as 1906. The gate to the cemetery has some historical data. “Established 1870, 1st Board Secretary — A. K. Christerson.” The earliest identified grave is that of James Weatherman, 12 Jan 1877. There was at least one burial in 1984. There are over 20 markers, mostly sandstones, with no lettering. G. Herman Guy read this cemetery on 18 June 1984.


Lines denoted by **** are names from obituaries that have been added to Mr. Guy's list. The names are links to the obituary.

If you have an obit of a person either listed or unlisted and would like to share it with others, I would be happy to post the obit and link to it. DET
