The cemetery was named after an early post office that was about a mile away. It is actually the propert of the Zion United Church of Christ in Womack. The church was originally located nearby but was moved to be in the center of the population. Mostly, this German community came here after the Civil War from Washington County. There were a large nuber of concrete blocks level with the ground with metal funeral markers embedded. This was done at a later date to mark all unmarked graves. These are marked Flat F. A member of the church gave information from church records that was combined with that on the markers. |
