The Union Church Cemetery is located in Boyertown Borough at the corner of West Philadelphia and North Reading Avenues. It is not to be confused with the Union Cemetery in Engelsville, Colebrookdale Township. The Union Church Cemetery was established by the German Reformed and Lutheran congregations of Boyertown, while they shared a single church building on West Philadelphia Avenue. This was 1814 to 1872 when the Lutheran congregation built their own church a block away on North Reading Avenue.

The Boyertown Mennonite Church was located just around the corner from the Union Church and their graveyards were side by side. Both cemeteries were reduced twice, once in 1914 and again in 1972 in order to allow expansion of the bank that was built on the corner between them. The Union Church Cemetery was resized one additional time when the Reformed congregation church needed to expand their building. Some headstones in these two cemeteries remain in place on site, some in their original position but many moved. Some are still very readable, while many are not. There were 255 headstones counted in 1998 that remain on site.

When the Reformed church expanded they built one large monument containing the names of those buried in their graveyard. This monument contains only the names, birth year and year of death, where they were still available. The transcript below is a copy of the names and years that appear on that monument. Approximate ages were calculated based on the birth and death years given. Where they served in a war, the war is noted.

Below this list of names is additional information obtained from a written record of a reading of the headstones. Only those names pertaining to the personal research of the contributor were copied and are shared here. All information was included as it appeared. All information has been alphabatized for convenient searching.
