Benjamin Howard (Missouri)-- Part 3: Where Is He Buried?

Unfortunately, while returning from the attack on Peoria, Howard fell ill and died in St. Louis, Missouri territory on September 18, 1814.  He was originally buried at an unknown site, but likely somewhere in downtown St. Louis.

Later, he was moved to the Old Grove Church graveyard, north of downtown sometime between 1817 and 1844.

Then, he was allegedly reinterred at Bellefontaine Cemetery sometime after 1851, but that cemetery has no record of it.

Find-a-Grave lists him as being buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
