In Fort Madison I
found a death record for the following:
Rebecca Lawson
Born March 16, 1831 in Indiana
Died March 11, 1909 in Harrison township, Lee County
Aged 77 years, 11 months, 25 days
Burial is in Acklam Cemetery.
I believe that Rebecca's brother, Nathaniel Wynn,
would be buried here
also. He died between 1900 and 1909, but we were
unable to find a death
record for him while we were at the recorder's office.
Nathaniel Wynn and Rebecca Wynn Lawson are the
children of Abraham and
Sarah Wynn who migrated to Iowa from Madison County
Indiana.
Rebecca's husband was George Lawson who died in the
Civil War,
March 29, 1863, at Gallatin, Tennessee. He enlisted at
Quincy, Indiana,
on July 28, 1862, in Company G, 75th Indiana
Volunteers.
