Franklin Mills Cemetery has been designated a Pioneer Cemetery by the Des Moines County Pioneer Cemetery Commission.

Located in the southeast area of section 15, Franklin Township is Franklin Mills or Burrus Cemetery. The record for this cemetery is complete as the caretaker and the Burlington D.A.R. have a plat of the cemetery. Burials are dated from 1839 until 1939. This cemetery is the resting place of John McDonald, a Revolutionary War veteran originally from Virginia.

Directions: From the intersection of Mt. Pleasant and Roosevelt Sts., proceed north on U.S. 61 for approximately 5 1/2 miles. The cemetery is approximately 1/2 of a mile east of U.S. 61 and is accessed through a farm gate.
