News from the
Riverside Cemetery Association
Several capable members of the association have been working to help build an office within the large garage building located at the top of the hill at the cemetery. It will be an 8 X 14 foot room to make business functions more convenient. The old office building made of concrete blocks has deteriorated and will be torn down.
During the last blizzard of April 11, five large pine trees were toppled. It will be a costly project to remove them. Any donations would be appreciated to cover expenses of both the new office and removal of the trees. (Donations may be sent c/o Concordia.)
