ZION LUTHERAN CEMETERY – Pittsburg, Crawford County, Kansas

Also known as "Pittsburg Zion" per *Cuthbertson's book," Tombstone Transcriptions of Crawford County, Kansas", 1971.  The cemetery is located just south of Quincy St. on S. Rouse St. (east side of road beside railroad tracks)

All headstones were transcribed, indexed & photographed by Cindy Marcell, transcriptions were compared to Tombstone Transcriptions of Crawford County, Kansas by William Cuthbertson*, 1971. Many difficult to read headstones were also compared by Cindy to Pittsburg Zion Lutheran Church records to provide the most correct listing possible below. New grave sites added at time of walk through on March 18 & 19, 2004 by C. Marcell.  Email corrections or broken links to
