Over the past few months life seems to have gotten in the way and I haven't been able to take more research trips for this post. However, I have begun to research the older church cemeteries in my immediate neighborhood. Guess what I found about a mile as the crow flies from my front door. Zion Lutheran Church built in 1832. So I took a drive by while the sun was shining and below are the results.
It seems quite a few Civil War veterans were laid to rest in this picturesque location. A good number of these veterans were in the same cavalry unit. Perhaps there maybe a member of CWT that may be able to provide us with more information about those that I could find. Some of the headstones were so worn that I could not read any of the information. So there may be more veterans at rest here that I could not find.
I hope you can take a few minutes to pay your respects.
