Thanks for the reply to my query. Sorry, I dont understand exactly what your message meant. Do you mean there is no death record of Wm LEE in Des Moines County 1903?????? Or do you mean there is no one there to get a death record for me? Is there a index of deaths in Des Moines county? On William Lee's 1902 Civil War pension record it states that his son E C Lee of Des Moines Iowa was granted guardianship of his father William Lee because William was "old and feebleminded" William died 1903 and is buried in Clarke Co Iowa. I am trying to locate William Lee's death record to document who his parents were. I think he is my ggggrandfather's brother. William was born 1829 in Allegany Co Maryland married and died in Iowa. Both he and his brother John served in the 33rd Iowa Infantry.
