Union Cemetery
Join me on a visit to the historic Union Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri. Below I will share info with you from a map/brochure I received at the cemetery. I couldn’t fit everything in the description so please be sure to read the pinned comment.
“ A BRIEF HISTORY
OF UNION CEMETERY
In the early 1850s, the towns of Westport and Kansas found themselves in a quandary. The cholera epidemic of 1849 filled the cemeteries of both communities. With expanding boundaries and increasing populations, city leaders started looking for more burial space. In 1857, their search ended when James M. Hunter deeded 49 acres to the Union Cemetery Association. The corporation was organized by a special act of the Missouri General Assembly on Nov. 9, 1857. The new cemetery was located between Westport and the town of Kansas and was to be used by both towns, becoming a “union” between the two. That is how Union Cemetery got its name.
When Union Cemetery was dedicated, it was thought that the 49 acres would accommodate all the deceased in Westport and Kansas City for all time. Little did city leaders suspect that Westport and Kansas City would become one community and that Union Cemetery would lie in the midst of a busy metropolitan area.
By 1910, Union Cemetery was showing increasing signs of deterioration. To raise funds for maintenance, the Cemetery Association sold 18 acres at 27th and Main Streets. It was later discovered that several members of the association had formed the Evergreen Land Company and had sold the land to themselves, which they later squandered in several land deals. The cemetery association deeded the remaining 27 acres to Kansas City in 1937. The Parks and Recreation department now maintains the grounds.
In August 1889, cemetery records were lost when the sexton’s cottage caught fire. This was a major loss because many of the graves were identified by wooden or limestone markers that were destroyed by weather, leaving hundreds of unmarked and undocumented graves. The sexton’s cottage was burned again on Halloween night 1985. This time, the records were kept off site, so none were destroyed. The cottage was rebuilt by the Women in Construction of Kansas City and rededicated in October 1990.”

Part 1: Bloody Civil War Battlefield of Wilson Creek
The Battle of Wilson's Creek, also known as the Battle of Oak Hills, was the first major battle of the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War. Fought on August 10, 1861, near Springfield, Missouri, between Federal forces and the Missouri State Guard.
Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon’s Army of the West was camped at Springfield, Missouri, with Confederate troops from Arkansas under the command of Brig. Gen. Ben McCulloch approaching. McCulloch's men had reinforced Missouri State Guard forces under Maj. Gen. Sterling Price.
Surgeons use large doses of opium, quinine, turpentine, carbonate of soda, powdered rhubarb and calomel (a mercury compound). Surgeons did not understand the concept of sterilizing their instruments and hands before an operation, and would literally spread germs from patient to patient, only stopping to wipe instruments on a dirty shirt, apron or coat, or dipping them in a bloody and stagnant bucket of water.
Both Federal and Southern wounded were treated at a makeshift field hospital established at the John Ray house. After the house was fired on by Union artillery from Bloody Hill, Southern surgeons placed a yellow flag on the porch to indicate its use as a hospital and protect it from fire from both sides. Besides the Ray House, impromptu field hospitals were set up all over the battle field, at other private homes and in the open, by both Union and Confederate surgeons.
The large, low-velocity, high-impact Minie Ball would bore and keyhole through the tissue, leaving a large gaping wound, shattering bone and bringing in foreign objects like grass, dirt, and pieces of clothing that would greatly increase the chance of blood poisoning or septicemia.
