Des Moines Co./Cemeteries/St. Paul's Lutheran

Photos: Herb Price

Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery is in Benton Township, section 22. The cemetery is south of the German Lutheran church. Go north from Burlington on Highway 99. About 4.7 miles beyond railroad, turn left on the gravel road just before crossing the bridge. Proceed 2.2 miles further and take a left onto gravel road about 1/2 mile.

This cemetery is frequently listed as "St. John's" on Internet pages, however members of the church say it is and always has been St. Paul's.
