Zion Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery.]]] Directions: This cemetery is located just off N Meridian Rd, on Miller Landing Rd. It is located in a small field on the left side of the road, just before the entrance to the Forest Meadows Soccer Complex. The stones are inside a fenced area but the cemetery is otherwise unmarked. The stones are scattered throughout approximately 3 acres of land. Some stones are in groups, others are set well apart from any other stone. Some of the graves seem to be maintained and are easy to spot and read. However, many more are scattered among thick brush and are hard to find. There are many stones that never had markings, some that were handwritten and hard to decipher and others with small trees or shrubs growing over them. There are also numerous sunken areas that appear to have been graves but are not marked. BAKER Augustus, b. Mar 3 1937 d. Feb 13 1983 COLLINS, (B?)eatrice, b. Oct 14 1912 d.
