MT. ZION LUTHERAN CEMETERY
Morgan County, IL
UPDATE: As you can see from the photos I've included here, the above description of this cemetery has to have been written a good number of years ago. When Earl & I visited this cemetery on March 17, 2007, we found the church has been abandoned and is in the worst shape of any church building I've seen in years. Likewise, the cemetery has also obviously been abandoned. We were able to make our way into the cemetery with difficulty and found most of the stones down and buried. By probing we were able to find several new stones which hadn't been listed on the old listing and were unable to find a number of the burials which were on the old listing. Given the fact that we found more foot stones than headstones, I feel certain there are more burials in this small cemetery. With more time and probing, it may be possible to locate more stones. I also question the name given to this cemetery as Mt. Zion Lutheran Cemetery. If the church was a Methodist church prior to 1971, the cemetery should more properly be called the Mt. Zion Methodist Cemetery since most of the burials we located were made long long before 1971.
