Union Township Amminition Factory Grounds, IAAP 1940   Site Photos It has been reported that cemeteries marked in red were moved elsewhere when the ammunition factory was built around 1940. Questions: What cemeteries were the burials moved to? Does the IAAP factory have that information? Does the local genealogical society have that information? Does anyone have a transcription of the gravesites that were removed?

If you find what you believe is an error in a cemetery transcription, please provide correct information and provide documentation (references) to your sources for future reference. Attention to errors is justified because a name may be spelled different ways so there is no compelling reason to change it. Just add notes and researchers down the road will greatly appreciate your care. Des Moines County, Iowa
