About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The land the church and cemetery are built on was part of the Henry Moonshine property. Henry donated one acre for a free burial ground in 1822 when his son John died. Construction of the church began in 1836.

Many rumors and legends are associated with this church and cemetery. Mostly they stem from the fact that Joseph Raber is buried in the cemetery. Joseph was a victim of the infamous local group of murderers named the Blue Eyed Six. One member of the Blue Eyed Six was acquitted, but five were sentenced to death by hanging in April 1879.

The original church building was destroyed by fire in 1961. Legend has it that the locals believed it to be evil and set it on fire. The church was rebuilt and is now known as the Moonshine United Zion Church.
