History:
Zion Cemetery was organized on 12 November 1930 by John Karlin, John Wild, Wm. Bonek, Fred Kassat, and Wm. Kentopp.

The cemetery is approximately 12' by 6' and is poorly fenced. There were only two burials. There are no headstones nor identifying marks except for two sunken spots.

The five families who belonged to the Zion Lutheran Church merged with Saint John's Lutheran church in 1940.
