    1. [PASNYDER-L] Zion Church Cemetery

    3. Can anyone out there tell me where the "Zion (Morr's) Lutheran Church Cemetery" is located in Washington Twp near the town of Freeburg? I am wondering if the name "Morr" refers to the Jacob J. Morr estate which lies due east of Freeburg. This tract was 222 acres in 1830 when my ancestor, Solomon Keyser (Keiser) bought it from Jacob J. Morr and his wife, Mary. Solomon lived on the land for 2 or 3 years before he left for Ohio. Apparently the land somehow reverted to "J. J. Morr" because it shows this name on the 1868 Atlas of Union & Snyder Counties. My interest is that Solomon's father, Peter Keiser, Jr., may have died during this period and I am searching for his burial site. If the Zion Church cemetery is, in fact, located on this 222 acre tract, I might expect to find him buried there. A listing of burial names in this cemetery would be of great help. Thanks.
