No, UM stands for United Methodist. They have a central office in Maryland.
I wrote several years ago but they were of no help.

I have no connection to this church and/or cemetery, but wouldn't there be
a
central location where these records would be kept?
U.M. stands for United Missionary, doesn't it? Where is the main
headquarters
for
the United Missionary Churches? Would the headquarters have records
for
persons
that attended and were buried in their cemeteries?
