Mt. Zion Cemetery

 

Contributed by:  Annette Burdett

Directions: from Fairfield take US 84 about 7 mi. east to CR 415, go south about .2 mi. to cemetery.

Historical Marker (church and cemetery): First church-- a log building located 1/8 mile east of Doddy Hollow--was built 1854 by early settlers. The Revs. G. W. Walker, Timothy Green were founders. In 1860 church relocated 1/4 mile southwest of here on land given by Mary Holder. In 1880 J. L. Moody gave a tract situated 1-3/4 miles west. At that site a structure was built to house church, school, and Grange Hall. Site is now a "Prayer Park" (on Hwy. 84). Land for this cemetery, where many Confederate veterans are buried, was given by J. C. James and A. P. Vaughn.
