Freestone County, Texas Mount Zion Cemetery ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributed by: Annette Burdett GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 31.6886, Longitude: -96.0486 Latitude: 31.688N Longitude: -96.048W Directions: from Fairfield take US 84 about 7 mi. east to CR 415, go south about .2 mi. to cemetery. This is a burial place for the community of Turlington. Historical Marker (church and cemetery): First church-- a log building located 1/8 mile east of Doddy Hollow--was built 1854 by early settlers. The Revs. G. W. Walker, Timothy Green were founders. In 1860 church relocated 1/4 mile southwest of here on land given by Mary Holder. In 1880 J. L. Moody gave a tract situated 1-3/4 miles west. At that site a structure was built to house church, school, and Grange Hall. Site is now a "Prayer Park" (on Hwy. 84). Land for this cemetery, where many Confederate veterans are buried, was given by J. C. James and A. P. Vaughn. Background: Orginially known as Doddy Hollow. John C. James donated the land for the Mt. Zion Cemetery where he and his wife, Julia, are buried. The cemetery is located on a hill.
