I am looking for someone who lives in or near Orient that would be willing to go to the Hill of Zion and get a photo of my great grandfather's tombstone for me. His name was George Milne b. 1834 (Scotland) d. 14 Feb 1904 (Hill of Zion Parsonage, Orient, Adair, Iowa) It is my understanding that the church is no longer there, so probably the parsonage is gone, too.
I do not know if there was an obituary written - need some guidence here as to a contact for newspaper archives.
G. Grandfather's son, George Milne was a preacher. The 1900 Fed. Census places him in Union Township, Adair, Iowa. I am assuming that son George was the minister at the Hill of Zion Church in 1904 since his father died there. I am looking for someone I can contact that might have knowledge of the records of this church. I am looking for verification that my g. uncle George was the pastor there in 1904 and pictures of the church and parsonage if they exist.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
