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.

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.
