About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This was the third successive U.S. Army post to be named Fort Des Moines. It was established in 1901 several miles south and outside the boundary, at the time, of the present day Des Moines, Iowa and originally founded as a base for cavalry.

Remains from this post cemetery were moved in June 1948 to Keokuk National Cemetery, Keokuk, IA.
