Some 1955-1985 aerial imagery of Mt. Zion Cemetery (details in the photo captions)! The first three also show the former Mt. Zion Church located just north of the cemetery. With the continued growth of the trees that were planted in the cemetery in 2018 & 2021, the tree canopy will soon be similar to that seen in the 1950s aerials.

A newly identified burial in Mt. Zion was recently discovered by a researcher from California; we are grateful to her for reaching out! Joe F. Thompson's burial location within the cemetery is not currently known; perhaps the applied-for headstone was never procured due to WWII logistical or staff reassignment challenges at the U.S. War Dept office listed, or alternatively it could have been damaged/buried during Mt. Zion's later abandonment. Several name-less remnants of metal temporary markers were found during the 2016-2018 restoration of Mt. Zion, and it is possible that one of those might have been Thompson's. A new record has been added to Mt. Zion's Find A Grave page at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/284583727/joe_f-thompson.

Spring flowers at Mt. Zion have been beautiful! The cemetery has been spared any major damage from the recent storms and flooding, thankfully, but as always there are the ongoing costs of regular upkeep and maintenance: picking up several trailer-loads of sticks the last few weeks, mowing/trimming, and preparing some of the historic iron fences for a new coat of paint.
