Mt. Zion Cemetery-Henry Clay Township
Compiled by Ken O'Neal

To find it From Rt 40 E, take Rt. 281 toward Confluence. About 4 miles you will make a sharp left turn and see the intersection of Parnel and Fangan Roads on curve. Go 6/10 mile to an old deserted house on right. You will park at house and walk up hill behind house to field. Turn left, walk along edge of woods about 50 yards to the cemetery on left. The remains of the church are up the hill, across the field.

NOTE: You MUST ask permission at house on other side of Rt 281, as this is posted land and the landowner wants to know who is on his land.
