Hi Glorianne; nice to meet you. I don't know if the Zion Church is the
same Mt. Zion Church. The description of the cemetery (which is directly
behind and some beside the Church) is as follows:
"MT. ZION CEMETERY, Washington Township, Clay County, Sec.28. Located
one eight of mile south of State Road #46 in the center of the section."
My ancestors, Delila Price died l0-3-l833 and Jacob Price died 6-6-l896.
Daughter, Mary Jane Price died 2-8-l855, Son, William W. Price died
ll-2l-l878, Daughter, Laura Alice Price (Jordan) died 8-2l-l945.
Thanks so much for the information - can you connect these two Churches
or are they one and the same? Could you let me know what you might be
able to come up with.
