Camanche is about 16 miles North of Le Claire, Iowa. Camanche is a small town but
it has, as far as I know, one cemetery. The Rose Hill Cemetery is on the North end
of Camanche. It’s co-ordinates are N41° 47.504’ W090° 15.181’.
I have not obtained access to the official records for the Rose Hill Cemetery. Since
I have a few family members buried there and a lady on the East Coast asked me to
find some of her relation, I photographed a very small portion of the headstones
in the cemetery.
To get to the Rose Hill Cemetery I used, as usual, a starting point of the corner
of Jones St. And Cody Road (Highway 67) in Le Claire, Iowa. Go 15.6 miles North
on US Highway 67 and you will come to a road to the right with a sign that say “Camanche”.
Turn right and go 2.1 miles. You will come to a “Y” with the base of the “Y” straight
ahead. Turn left onto the other side of the “Y” (or jump across the little “parking
area” like I do) and then take an immediate right onto Rose Hill Ave. That will
take you to the Rose Hill Cemetery which is only about 0.1 mile away.
