West Cemetery

AKA Frederickson Cemetery

Located just southwest of Fredericksburg

This page is a "re-transcription", combining data from two sources, then linking the resulting names to the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (IGPP) and to Find-a-Grave.

The first source is a four-page typewritten transcription (links - Page One, Two, Three, Four ) believed to be from 1964, transcribed to a spreadsheet. This data was then combined with the 1930's WPA data for this cemetery, and linked with the IGPP (only one photo) and Find-a-Grave.

Abbreviations: ADOB - Alternate Date of Birth; ADOD - Alternate Date of Death; AMI - Alternate Middle Initial; ASFN - Alternate Spelling of First Name; ASSN - Alternate Spelling of Surname; and BYC - Birth Year Calculated.

Cemetery from Above

The cemetery has a plaque with this inscription: "The West Cemetery, Fredericksburg's first was established in 1862. It is the resting place of many of the early pioneers of the area. It is also the burial site of three veterans of the war of 1812; J. A. Ballinger, Nathaniel Joslins, and Charles Pitts. It was during this war that the Star Spangled Banner was composed. Several Civil War veterans are buried here as well. The location is typical of many pioneer cemeteries. Sites were chosen because they often had many wild flowers and were frequently located on a slight over look. The land was purchased from Minerva Vail, the first white woman to live in Fredericksburg. Although a few burials have occurred during modern times the majority had already taken place before 1900."
