In 1953, Wesley United Methodist Church purchased the property on the southwest corner of 30th & Tibbs Ave to build their new church. The old West Union cemetery was part of that purchase and over the years, many of the markers had been damaged and destroyed. Wesley UMC removed the remaining markers and cleaned up the cemetery. They also moved burials from the Olive Branch Cemetery & erected the large memorial plaque. Although no longer used, the old cemetery is still honored as a burial place.
Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 1, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (02 April 2005), gives the primary cemetery name as West Union Cemetery with alternate names of Meyer Cemetery and Meyers Cemetery.
The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-49-127 (West Union / Meyer).
