Riverview Cemetery, SotitH Bend, Ind. 
Riverview, the new rural cemetery of South Bend, 
Ind., was laid out five years ago on an attractive site 
on the St. Joseph River and has been developed on the 
modern lawn plan into one of the most beautiful tracts 
in the state. It claims the distinction of having more 
private mausoleums than any cemetery in the country 
of its size and age, and of having the only receiving 
vault in that section of the state. 
This is a side hill vault built of native field stone

with Bedford stone trimmings. The interior has a 
half-round arched ceiling with i8 catacombs faced with 
slate. The exterior is now overgrown with Ampe- 
lopsis which adds greatly to its beauty in the land- 
scape. It is a plain, unpretentious structure and is giv- 
ing good service. 
The entrance gate, shown in one of the illustrations, 
is also of rough stone, and the chapel and office build- 
ing may be seen immediately within the gates. 
A typical example of the mausoleums in 
the cemetery is shown herewith. They are 
dignified, classic structures of fine work- 
manship. The “Oliver” is the largest in the 
cemetery and occupies a conspicuous site 
near the center of the grounds. It is of 
Barre granite in Ionic style, with interior 
finish of Italian marble, and was erected by 
the Van Amringe Granite Co., of Boston. 
A beautiful memorial window is one of the 
interesting features of this vault. 
The “Hubbard,” shown in our illustra- 
tion, is built in Doric style, of Barre granite, 
and has an art glass window in the rear rep- 
resenting an Angel at the tomb. Solid 
bronze doors lead to the interior, which is 
finished in Italian marble. 
Riverview has some fine views from which 
it takes its name and its natural beauties 
have been enhanced by judicious planting 
and care of Superintendent John G. Barker, 
who laid out the grounds and has been in 
charge for almost the entire life of the as-
