Patriot Soldiers Buried in Iowa

 

 
Des Moines County

William Ross

                   

William Ross died in 1833 in  what is now Des Moines County.  He was first buried about a half mile west of  the Mississippi River, within the bounds of what was afterwards made the  public square in the city of Burlington.  Two sons had his body reinterred on the farm of Colonel William Morgan some three miles south west of where he  was first buried.  His grave was thought by some to have been within the  bounds of what became known as the Old Burlington Cemetery long ago vacated and is now the site of Burlington High School.
