    3. Hi-- Can anyone tell me about Mt. Zion, TX & the Harmony Presbyterian Church. I believe they be in Hopkins or Hunt counties. ---------------- MOUNT ZION, TEXAS (Hopkins County). Mount Zion, a rural community on State Highway 11 fifteen miles northwest of Sulphur Springs in northwestern Hopkins County, was settled before 1898, when it had two schools, one with fifty-six white students and one with nineteen black. During the mid-1930s Mount Zion had a school, a cemetery, three churches, and a number of scattered houses. After World War IIqv most of its residents moved away. The schools were consolidated with the Cumby school district, and by the early 1960s all that remained of the community was a church and a cemetery. During the late 1980s Mount Zion was a dispersed rural community. - -------------------------------------------------------- The Handbook of Texas Online is a joint project of The General Libraries at the University of Texas at Austin and the Texas State Historical Association. © The Texas State Historical Association, 1997,1998,1999.
