The seal shows what seems to be a school scene, with a two-story house with slanted roof on a lawn. Around, on the seal edge, "Seal of the County of Union * New Jersey" in blue capitals.

According to tvjersey.com/2007/02/shot_in_union_county.php "Union County has perhaps the only county seal in the nation that features a picture of a woman getting shot." From www.njstatefilmfestival.com/2006independents.htm "Hannah Caldwell was a mother and homemaker from Union, NJ who was shot and killed by the British troops during the American Revolutionary. She is on the the county seal of Union County."
