Mt. Zion Cemetery
Mt. Zion Cemetery
Jefferson County, MO

Submitted & © 2001: Desoto Joe

This one is located off of old Highway CC in Festus. There are many graves here & I know more are in here, than remaining stones. I have heard this cemetery referred to as Mt. Olive Cemetery also. It has been forgotten for some time & someone has been cutting trees & piling the brush on top of some of the stones. It is very hard to reach most of these graves during the Spring & Summer due to overgrowth. mtzion.jpg - 0 Bytes
