- ZION EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CEMETERY - This cemetery is located in East Germantown (Pershing), Wayne County, Indiana, north of the National Road (Rt. 40). Very good condition. It is in conjunction with the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church which is the oldest Lutheran congregation in Indiana having been organized in 1822. Two acres of ground were purchased at that time at a price of $11.00 per acre for a church building and a burial ground. The first church was a small log structure. A brick church was erected near what is now the center of the present cemetery. It served as a church and a parochial school. It was erected in 1833 and remodeled in 1860. A completely new church was built in 1900 at a cost of $8,000.00.
