SWEDE CEMETERY, Union Township, Des Moines County, Iowa

Find this cemetery within the IAAP ammunition plant reservation at the South East corner of section 15.

One must get permission at the plant office to visit this site.

Many burials were moved to cemeteries outside of the plant area.

We continue to seek information about cemeteries around Burlington where remains were moved to.
