It is inaccessible due it's location within the boundaries of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant. Article from the Daily Hawk Eye Gazette, Feb. 14, 1941, page 2, when the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant land was being opened. Burlington Hawk Eye, Veteran War 1812 and Wife Buried in Ordnance Area It was revealed today by Mose Robinson, Burlington route retired conductor that his grandfather, a veteran of the War of 1812 and grandmother lie in unidentified graves within the Iowa Ordnance Plant area in Flint River township. “Henry Robinson, my grandfather” said his grandson, Mose, himself hale and hardy and up in the 80’s “was a soldier in the US. Army, serving in the war of 1812 and was with the forces of General Andrew Jackson, when the British troops were decisively routed in the battle of New Orleans. “My grandfather’s home was in Chillicothe, Ohio, on the banks of the Scotia river. He came to the territory of Iowa in 1836 and settled six miles west of Burlington on the Agency road, taking up or purchasing from the government 150 acres of land in the southwest corner of section 32 in Flint River township. “Henry Robinson improved this farm and had it well stocked. He and his wife expressed the joint wish that when they died they wanted to be laid to rest on the farm. They planted a small grove of locusts north of their dwelling house and instructed their sons that they should be buried in the shade of these trees.” “Grandfather and Grandmother Robinson died in 1856, almost together. Wanted No Tombstone “A peculiarity of the old couple was an aversion to markers of tombstone. They did indicate that their graves be fenced and for a long time a neat white paling enclosure marked the burial spot. As time passed the sons drifted to other places and as those thins go, the fence was neglected and not there are no identifying marks to reveal the resting place of the couple. The grandchildren, expect myself who did know where they are buried have all passed away. When I was a little boy As recall visiting the grave spot with my father and I do remember the locations or very near it.” "It seem appropriate that my grandfather, who fought for his country should now have a resting place in ground repossessed and owned by the government, almost as if her was buried in Arlington cemetery" The processes of time and disintegration over a period of four score and more years, of course have fulfilled the Genesiac passage which reads, "For dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return." with the mortal remains of the grandparents of Mose Robinson. The most recent owner of the farm in question was Mrs. William Carden.
