Zion United Methodist Church Cemetery (Old)
Location:
Zion Church Road, Centre Township History: "… [L]ocated
about six miles north-west of Middleburg. The original Zion's Church
was a United Brethren Church, built about 1850 on a plot close to the
present Zion's [United Methodist] Church. About 1890 the Evangelical
Association got possession of this church … A second Zion's
United Brethren Church was erected about one mile from the old Zion's
United Brethren Church on what was known as Zion Hill and was used until
1871 when a new building was erected. This church building was later torn
down and the Kissimmee United Brethren Church was built from the material
in 1916-1917. The Kissimmee United Brethren [now United Methodist] Church
is located in Franklin Township about two miles north-west of Middleburg.
