A Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone, Clinton and Hendricks Counties, Ind.,
A.W. Bowen, Chicago, 1895, page 539:

Mrs. Amelia Zion was born in Brookville, Ind., May 28, 1814, and was married to William Zion December 13, 1832, in the town of Rushville. She was a prominent charter member of the Methodist church of Lebanon, organized in 1835, and for forty years, after moving to Boone county, was intensely interested in everything that tended to advance the interests of the community. Her home was the stopping place for the early pioneer preachers; and governors, senators, congressmen, railroad officials and many dignitaries of less prominence, found, beneath her roof, a free and open hearted hospitality. In caring for the sick of the town, her tender hands and sympathizing heart were ever ready to respond, and many persons in distress were consoled by her kind and loving ministrations.

She died in Lebanon April 5, 1894, aged seventy-nine years, ten months and six days. The following are the names of the children born to William and Amelia Zion: Charlotte, George, Elizabeth K., Parisade A., Mary L. . Theodore L. , Alonzo A., James M., William A. and Charles M.
