- In the ‘Mayer Centennial 1886 - 1986’, under the section about Zion Lutheran Church, ‘ ... in 1894, a second graveyard was purchased. The first graveyard, which was located on the river road to Crow River Goose Farms, was on extremely low ground, and the bodies of the deceased were often lowered into a water filled grave. The 47 burial sites in the original cemetery were moved to the new site, the present Zion Lutheran Cemetery. Among those moved were the ten children who died in the Diptheria epidemic of 1884-1885.’
In ‘Compendium of History and Biography of Carver and Hennepin Counties, Minnesota’, written in 1919, it states: ‘Zion’s Evangelical Church was organized in 1868 and the same year the church was built on section 6 (probably Waconia township).’ - 44.899406944° 53' 57.9"N-93.888301093° 53' 17.9"W
