The Daughters of Zion Cemetery was created in 1873. It is being renovated now.
Commemoration and recognition
A group called the Preservers of the Daughters of Zion have been working to raise awareness of the cemetery. In 2016, City Council allocated $80,000 to restore the cemetery. [1]
Part of the work will include trying to discover the identities of some 160 graves that no longer are marked. So far, 136 have been identified.
