According to "The Churches of Adams County PA" by Charles H. Gladfelter (1981) there is no Zion (or Mt. Zion) Lutheran Church in Idaville. There is the Idaville United Methodist Church, from about 1850, and the Idaville United Brethren in Christ Church, dating to about 1896. In "Cemeteries of Cumberland County:" by Bob Davidson (2000), there is a Mt. Zion Lutheran Church and adjacent cemetery in Goodyear, Cumberland County, built in 1868. Maybe someone else on the List can be of further help.
