Nope, I've made two trips up to Zeh in the past two years. A lot of my JONES ancestors are buried up there. Not an easy access. We stopped at a couple of homes in the area when we were trying to find the cemetery. One man said that he and the Zeh kids used to play up there on top of the hill. It's a neat place. When you step inside in the summer time, it's very dark and makes you feel as though you were in a cathedral. Someone cleared an area next to the cemetery and they were going to put a mobile home there. I don't know just why that didn't happen. But, it makes it much easier to access. Julie I may be wrong but I thought the Zeh cemetery was more up around Dallas City??? More precisely Baker's Beach is just north of the dam, maybe 1/2 mile from the bridge. The cabins are all gone now but you ought to see the mansion of a house that someone is building at the north edge of that property! A far cry from the camping cabins that were there when we were kids, Shawnee. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawnnee Ramey" <[email protected]>

It's difficult to tell you how to find the Zeh Cemetery. It is directly across the Mississippi R. from Ft. Madison. It is on top a a very high hill. There is no road to get there. We had to explore the area to find it. There are homes along the road there where you can stop and ask. It is near Pontoosuc, but when I stopped at a bar that was open, they didn't know where it was--and they had lived there a long time. I'm wondering if people don't want anyone to know where it is.
