The following transcription was compiled from readings of the actual tombstones done on November 12, 1980 by St. Paul Lutheran Church. History: According to I. M. Beaver in his History of the Grindstone Hill Reformed Charge, Mr. John Rea donated land in 1824 for a Union Church for all denominations. The church was built in 1833 on the lot which is now the parking lot at about 103 West Main Street, Fayetteville and is adjacent to the Fayetteville Volunteer Fire Department on the west side of the Fire House. The Church was a brick building 36 x 40 feet, and the cost was $815.00. The denominations that first worshipped there were Presbyterian, Reformed, Lutheran, Methodist and Baptist. A cemetery was located behind the Union Church and is now known as the Union Cemetery. Mr. John Hawworthe was the first teacher in the school located near the present cemetery. He died of typhoid fever in 1826 and was the first person buried in the cemetery. His grave stone was still there in 1980 when the inscriptions on the following stones were copied.
