There is an old cemetery between the log "Barn" church and the hill which is left of the church. The tombstones have all been removed, no burials have been made for more than fifty years, and it is said many of the old monuments were thrown in a creek or otherwise demolished. No one of age in this community can remember any names. The old log church has now fallen.
Across the highway from the present Zion Lutheran (at Broad Run) built in 1897 is a bronze marker commemorating Abraham Roush who gave the farm to the church. This is located near the foot of the present Cemetery hill. Surrounding this marker are also sunken graves. This is now a park but was a former pasture field. One present marker remains which reads Mrs. Oliver mother of Elizabeth Oliver.
The bronze marker reads "In Memory of Abraham Roush given by the Lutheran Parish of Mason County."
