***********************************************************************

Directions: Take Mill Creek Road off of Arlington Expressway, pass Regency 
Square Road, turn right at sign for Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, then 
veer left onto a dirt road and proceed about a half mile, to the end.  The 
cemetery is to the left of the church building.  It is fenced, but unlocked, 
plus there are holes in the fence in several places.  This property backs up 
against a mining operation.

Condition: thick with leaves from the numerous trees.  Needs to be raked.  
There are several unmarked graves, unreadable stones, and broken markers. 
Several Union soldiers are buried here.
