The Guidon states the following about Rockwell Cemetery in an article published in 2008:
“The Rockwell Cemetery lies near the Technology Park with 43 marked graves. It is home to a World War II veteran and a private with 130th Machine Gun Battalion, 55th Division. It also contains the person born the earliest of all Fort Leonard Wood’s cemeteries — 1767.
Some of the gravestones hint at difficult lives. Three siblings all died in the same year: 1923. One mother lost two children and followed them to the grave six years later at the age of 35.”
