Gravestone Photographs

Picturesque is one word that comes to mind when first entering Riverside Cemetery. At the entrance is a plaque "marking the location of the first settlement of the Patterson and Drake families," and the cemetery was originally the burying ground for those families.  In what appears to be the center of the older portion of the cemetery is a band stand inscribed with the names of the Mifflin Township men who served in the Civil War. In front of the band stand is a military gravestone inscribed in honor of the unknown dead of that same conflict.  The cemetery is located on the east side of Sunbury Rd., three tenths of a mile north of Innis-McCutcheon Road.  Riverside is still an active cemetery and is maintained by the Mifflin Township Trustees; for information and a map of the cemetery go to http://www.miftwp.org/cemeteries/index.htm.  There are some broken stones some of which can be seen below, but the overall condition of the cemetery is excellent.

NOTE:  Most gravestone appearing here are only a part of those located in this cemetery.
