Mount Zion Cemetery
Webster, Sumter County, Florida

Lat: 28°38'15"N, Lon: 82°03'10"W

Contributed by Susie Walker, Apr 11, 2002 [smokeyjoe133513@yahoo.com]. Total records = 144.

Directions to the Mt. Zion are, 1.3 miles north of Webster on Hwy 471. The cemetery is directly behind Mt. Zion Baptist Church on the east side of the highway.

Mount Zion Cemetery is maintained by the Webster Cemetery Association. The grounds are well maintained and fenced on three sides.

I have surveyed and transcribed this cemetery Apr 05, 2002. There were several unmarked burial spots, some labeled by cinder block, concrete slabs and other types of stone markers as well as unreadable markers.
