In 1856, Francis, the year old son of Allen and Nancy Tramel Campbell, passed away, thus creating the need for a cemetery. Grandfather Tramel set aside a portion of land as a graveyard at this time and the little grandson was the first to be laid to rest there. In the following years other Tramel family members, as well as those of the neighborhood, were also laid to rest in the Tramel graveyard. On June 2nd, 1859, William A.B. Tramel gave a deed for the land to become a public cemetery under the ownership and control of the Trustees of Clear Creek Township.
In 1947, a grandson of William A.B. Tramel, Frank W. Tramel, gave a deed for a large section of additional land at the south side of the original cemetery, thus making the Union Chapel property a complete rectangle in shape.
