edith, The Iowa Army Ammunition Plant is near Middleton, Des Moines County, IA, the county just east of Henry Co., IA. First I suggest you post you query on the Des Moines County, IA rootsweb page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~iadesmoi/ There is a web site for this plant at http://www.ioc.army.mil/rm/iocfact/iaaap.htm. They have a brief history of the side. "BRIEF HISTORY: The site of the Iowa plant was acquired through original negotiation beginning in 1940, and the construction contractors completed their work at the end of February 1942. Employment has ranged from a high of 12,000 in 1944 to a low of 923 in 1983." Here is the email and regular address for: COMMANDER: LTC Jyuji D. Hewitt SIOIA-CO 17571 State Highway 79 Middletown, IA 52638-5000 He is the guy in charge. Maybe he will be able to help you. I searched the Burlington Public Library catalogue at http://www.burlington.lib.ia.us/ and found: Title: Tombstone inscriptions, Iowa Army Ammunition plant area / [compiled by Orville & Mary Prill and Julius & Ruth Hilleary].
