Riverview Cemetery – Jefferson City – Cole County – United States

Riverview Cemetery is located at 2600 West Main Street in Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri. The cemetery was organized in 1906 on an 88-acre tract purchased from former Cole County Sheriff Samuel H. Sone, and its first recorded burial, Charles Donnell, took place on March 18, 1910. It is operated by the Riverview Cemetery Association as a nonprofit, nonsectarian, nondenominational cemetery. Monuments and burials were relocated here from Jefferson City’s Old City and Woodland cemeteries, including those of former mayor Thomas Lawson Price and prominent jurist Burr McCarty. Notable interments include Missouri governors Herbert S. Hadley, Sam A. Baker and James T. Blair Jr., as well as Annie White Baxter, the first elected female official in Missouri. The grounds were designated a Jefferson City Local Landmark in 2012; visiting hours are daily from sunrise to sunset, while office hours are generally Monday through Friday.
