Elvira Cemetery may be a placeholder for this memorial.
There is quite a bit of information on Benjamin Shambaugh, as he was a long term professor at the University of Iowa and first Superintendent of the State Historical Society.

–historian, political scientist, educator, and first Superintendent of the State Historical Society of Iowa—was the youngest of seven surviving children born to Eva Ann (Ressler) Shambaugh and John Shambaugh. Prosperous but frugal farmer near Elvira, Clinton County, Iowa, the Shambaughs valued education and gave generously to the country school their children attended, but only the two youngest, George and Benjamin, received family support for a college education. After attending the Iowa City Academy for two years to prepare for college, Shambaugh entered the State University of Iowa (UI) in 1888. He earned his bachelor's degree in 1892, then continued at the UI with graduate studies in history. During that time, he began mining the collections of the State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI). From Iowa, he embarked on doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania, earning a Ph.D. in political science in 1895. Shortly before he graduated from Penn, the UI offered him a position teaching history and political science. He accepted, then went to Germany to pursue postdoctoral studies before taking his post in January 1896. In 1897 he married Bertha M. Horack, his college sweetheart. The couple had no children, but their home was always a social center for Shambaugh's students and colleagues.
