Riverside Cemetery in Section 21 of West Bend Township of Palo Alto County IOWA From West Bend 3 1/2 miles west and one mile south (4803 - 545th Ave. - West Bend, Iowa) Walked and Recorded May 28, 2002 Two days after Memorial Day and there was NOT a memorial on any of the graves. Last burial was 1998. This is a very poorly kept cemetery. Some stones were laying in a heap under a nearby tree!
Interesting inscription was that on the Dewitt Plot, it read: "Here lies the remains of the Dewitt Family, where there gone or how they fare, nobody knows and nobody cares Transcription by Letty Hurlburt
