Although most of the stones are from the first third of the twentieth century, the oldest dated stone belongs to Elizabeth Logan, wife of John Logan, who passed away 15 March, 1868. There has been at least two burials in Rockwell Cemetery since the construction of Fort Leonard Wood.

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.”
