WPA posted by Don Lawse on Wednesday, April 12, 2000

I am wondering if Benton county had the cemeteries walked in the 1930's by the WPA. Do you know if they were done by the WPA? I know there are over 70 counties in Iowa which DID have them walked by the WPA. If it has been done, do you know where a copy of the records can be found? Any info and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Don Lawse; Mason City, IA 50401
