Zion Church Cemetery

Worcester County, Maryland

(A Virtual Tour)

This may be the first "virtual" cemetery on the Internet!  Zion Church cemetery is located on the east side of Meadow Bridge Road at approximately 38 degrees, 15.8 minutes North Latitude; 75 degrees, 36.4 minutes West Longitude or about one mile south of the point where the counties of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset tri-sect.  In this area, Meadow Bridge Road divides Somerset County (to the west) from Worcester County (to the east).  Hence, the cemetery, located in Worcester County, Maryland.  The cemetery is shown on the 1876 maps as the "Meth. Ch." between the farms of "I. Hitch" and "J.H. Vincent" (next to "School No. 6") in the Atkinsons District of Worcester Co. It is also referenced on the Princess Anne District of Somerset Co., just outside the district line to the east. 

This page is set-up where you can take a "stroll" around the cemetery on the map below and "click" on a gravestone to see it's picture.  Please note that the round figure in the upper right quadrant is a Cedar Tree that has grown quite large in the midst of the graves.  A general view of the cemetery can be seen in this picture-> ZION CEMETERY.  All pictures were taken on Sunday, December 26, 1999.  The drawing is not quite to scale as it has a wider aspect ratio than shown; however, the relative position of the stones is accurate.  Below the map is a table of all the graves in the cemetery.  Use the Key Numbers in the table to cross-reference with the numbers in the map.  You can also access the gravestone pictures by clicking the Key Numbers in the table.  Please let me know what you think of this page by E-Mailing me at mikehitch@mikehitch.com.   THANKS & ENJOY!
