Bobby, and Lincoln Co. Marshall Co Researchers,

Is there a written record of those buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery? I
am told that Frederick and Sally (BROADAWAY) FOSTER's eldest son,
Anthony Smith FOSTER and his first wife, Martha Matilda CUNNINGHAM, as
well as his second wife, Fannie Lou J. FOSTER were buried there.
