.
• He was buried after 9 January 1862 in the Pee Dee Cemetery in Springdale Township, Cedar County, IA.
John's gravestone is a very badly weathered white sandstone tablet. All that is still relatively easy to read as of 2000 is "John W. Linn" and "Jan. 9, 1862" which was his date of death.
The inscription appears to read:
