Private William Allen, 10th Iowa Infantry,
Company G
The gravesite for William Allen is located in a very rural
location in Woodville, about 40 miles east of Huntsville,
Alabama. The site is not a cemetery and John's late uncle
bought the land in the 1950's and cleared it leaving the trees
where the gravesite rests. He says the site is about a
quarter mile off to the right of County Road 317 near the end of
the road (approximate coordinates are
34.721495, -86.171587 ). The original headstone has been damaged by a bush
hog (mower) but a local resident had another stone made to mark
the grave. It is possible there are other graves around
this one but are only marked with rocks.
