The dead have also been remembered. About three years ago the attention of patriotic societies in Iowa was drawn to the fact that one or more soldiers of the Revolu- tionary War had spent their last days on Iowa soil. Atten- tion was first drawn to the grave of William Blair who was buried at Kossuth, in Des Moines County; and it was pro- posed by the Sons of the American Revolution to erect in the Historical Department at Des Moines a tablet to his memory. Before the matter took tangible shape... it was found that five of the patriots of 1770 were known to have been buried in Iowa. These are: William Blair, Kossuth; John Osborn, Center Point; Timothy Brown, Washington; George Perkins, Lee county; and Charles Shepherd, near Mt. Pleasant. The first grave was marked by a fine monu- ment erected by descendants; the second had a monument erected by the G. A. R. and citizens; the third could not be 10 located except that it was in an aljaudoned cemetery; the fourth though identified was not marked; the fifth could not be found except that it was known to be in a certain forty acre tract.
