war when sixteen years of age. At the close of that was married and moved to Benton County, Kentucky. From there in 1797 moved to Ohio and settled near Chillicothe, Ohio. From Ohio he moved to Illinois. From Illinois he came to Iowa, where at the time lived his sons, Thomas and David E. He died in 1840 at the age of eighty-two years, and was buried in the cemetery north of Kos- suth in Des Moines County.
The first white person who died and was buried in Des Moines County was a Revolutionary soldier-the father of Dr. William R. Ross. In September, 1833, Doctor Ross came to Burlington, his aged father accompanying him. In speak- ing of his father's death the doctor says: "He was accompanied by his aged father, who had fought through the Revolutionary war and who was one of the first settlers of Lexington, Ky. Worn down by age and toil, and being exposed to the inclemencies of a new home, the old gentleman was carried off the same fall with the chills and fever and now lies ( 1839) on the topmost pinnacle of our eity." At the time of the death of this Revolutionary hero there was not a graveyard in Burlington and there is nothing to mark the place where he lies buried.
John Morgan, a soldier of the Revolutionary war, is buried in Aspen Grove Cemetery, Burlington. At his grave is erected a beautiful granite monument at a cost of $500. It bears this inscription :

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR
The proclamation of President Mckinley was issued April 23, 1898, and recited the declaration of war against Spain. It called for 125,000 volunteers. On the 25th of the same month the governor of Iowa was advised of the quota of volunteers from Iowa. In the organization of Iowa regiments the First Iowa National Guard became the Forty-ninth Iowa Infantry. The Third, Fourth and Fifth Iowa National Guards became the Fifty, Fifty-first and Fifty-second Iowa Infantry. The state was also called upon to furnish two batteries of light artillery. The Forty-ninth Regiment was mustered into the service at Camp McKinley, Des Moines, June 2, 1898, and mustered out at Savannah, Ga., May 13, 1899. On December 19, 1898, the regiment was ordered to Cuba and arrived at Havana on the 21st of same month. While in Cuba it was principally engaged in performing guard duty. The Fiftieth Infantry was mustered into the service of the United States at Camp McKinley, Des Moines, May 17, 1898, mustered out of the service at the same place on November 30. 1898.
