Block Cemetery - aka "Mount Zion
Cemetery"
Located on the Hazel Dell Road, about
three miles south east of Greenup. 1889, Jonathan and Rachel
Eveland gave one half acre of land for a church. January 31,
1903, Ulysses and Mary Jane Walden, donated land for a cemetery behind
the church.
George Henry Eveland passed away July 26, 1905 and
was the first person buried in the new cemetery.
1963 Keith
Walden donated more ground enlarging the cemetery to about two
acres.
It is an attractive and well kept cemetery.
From a History
Book, the name "Block" goes back to the early 1800s when a log block
house
was built just north of where the church is located now. In
those days, there were no roads, only trails.
The old Block house
has been gone and forgotten for more than a hundred years, but the name
Block is still with us.....JW.
