Hi, Two years ago I spent 10 days in Keokuk, I went to the Library to look up the obituarys. Then I went to the court house with the dates and looked up the documents. The only trouble I had was finding graves at Oakland cemetery. Some are marked and others, I never found. The national cemetery is very well organized. Also Big Mound cemetery is now Buena Vista Mound. If you have a motor home you can park down by the river, they water and electric. Also a dump station. We paid $5.00 a day. The court house will make copies for you. If I can help just write. Mary Perry
