Zion Cemetery
Pleasant Township
Switzerland County, Indiana
Zion Cemetery, Sep. 2, 2000. Photo by Ruth A. Hoggatt.
This cemetery is located east of Pleasant, Indiana,
at the intersection of Hwy. 250 and Bennington Road on the east side.SS=Same Stone W=Wife D=Daughter S=Son
Names marked with an asterisk [ * ] were on the list that Wanda Morford
did in the 1980's but I couldn't find when I was there.
There were 3 stones that were not readable when I was there,
that would account for the 3 names I couldn't find.
I surveyed this cemetery November 1, 2000
