Franklin township cemetery is located at the intersection of 500 North and 200 West. This cemetery began as Mt. Zion Friends Cemetery. It is also called 'Center' cemetery because it is in the center of Franklin township. The cemetery has 2 Parts: North Part and South Part. The reading of each Part starts at the west side of the cemetery at the cemetery gate. The rows start at the gravel drive that enters the cemetery from 200 West. The south side does not appear to have any burials in the first 3 rows. South Part (starting with row 4) reads from the gravel drive south to the cemetery border fence; then go back North to gravel drive and step east for next row. The North Part reads from the gravel drive north to the cemetery border and then back to the gravel drive and step east for next row. No doubt, there are graves here without tombstones or markers. Some months, days and genealogical data added. Read as of July 1, 2020.
