The Union Star Cemetery is located in Sioux County northwest of the Earl Kuhnel ranch (in 1986).  The land for the cemetery was deed by Mary Saxton Procunier in 1888 to the Presbyterian Church in New York. 
The church was organized in 1890 by the Presbytery of Niobrara and the congregation was dissolved in 1924.  Elders of the church in that time period were:  R. C. Fergerson (Ferguson?), R. C. Tally and H. A. Cottman.  Minutes of the church meeting are on file at Missouri Valley Presbyteria in Omha, Nebraska.
The first marked grave is Willie E. Boesel, who died Oct. 2, 1888.  The last burial (as of 1986) was Milford Saxton in April 1984.
There are many unmarked graves, about 50 had been located by 1986.
The East Side Sioux Extension Club has taken on the task of maintaining the cemetery.  A search continues for cemetery records.   Written in 1986 by – Gerry Pettipiece
