Dedlow-Zion Cemetery lies in South Dry Creek Township in the north-west of Pierce County, about three miles south-east of Plainview, recorded at Section 11 of Township 27 North, Range 4 West.
The naming needs care. The county cemetery index records this ground as Dedlow-Zion, while Find a Grave carries it simply as Zion Cemetery with no town given. It is a separate burial ground from Zion Lutheran Cemetery at Pierce, which lies about thirteen miles to the south-east — the two were once suspected of being one ground recorded twice, and their recorded positions have since settled the question. Anyone tracing a burial should still check both, because the names are easily confused.
Find a Grave holds 79 memorials for it, which is a record of what has been photographed and indexed rather than a count of everyone buried there. For burial records or plot enquiries, contact the village office at Plainview, or the Pierce County Clerk in Pierce. Ownership can also be confirmed through the Nebraska Statewide Cemetery Registry at the State Historical Society.
