"Zinn" family cemetery, in Slate Springs, MS. It is located at the
intersection of Main & Spencer, next door to a small wood frame house.
Apparently no one knows the actual name of the cemetery, but since "
Zinn" is the dominant family name, the locals call it that. Although it
appears to have been unkept in recent years, most of the stones are in good
shape. Cemetery is app. 900 square feet.

Directions: from Memphis, TN, take I-55 south to Futheyville exit. Go east
on State Hwy 8, app 25 miles, to merger of State Hwys 8 & 15. Turn right,
or south, on Hwy 15. Go app. 6 miles to Slate Springs (VERY small
town).
