One more comment regarding churches.
The United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 by combining Methodist and
Evangelical United Brethren Churches. The Concord Church may be United
Methodist now, having been changed from either EUB or Methodist. I'm not
familiar with it. Also possible it could be United Missionary as others
have said.
Regarding the original question, I believe it's possible that the older
churches may have had cemetery records which were not duplicated anywhere
else. We have all run into research stumbling blocks where church records
have burned, or court house records-- even the 1890 census which was
destroyed in D.C. and no duplicates exist.

Perhaps this faith is unique to northern Indiana, but there have been
and still are United Missionary Churches all over Elkhart and Kosciusko
Co. of Indiana. Both Bethel College in Mishawaka, IN and, perhaps,
Manchester College in North Mancester, IN were and still may be
connected with this faith.
If the Concord U. M. Church was around in the early part of this
century, that would be before the Methodist Church and the United
Church of Christ combined to become the United Methodist.
Maybe a search of the web would reveal their headquarters.
