The Silent City of the Dead

There are four cemeteries connected with the town of Rio Vista. The public cemetery lies nearest the town, and is, in fact, but just on the outskirts of the town. It was laid out in 1862. Adjoining the public, on the father side, lies the Protestant cemetery. This was also laid out in 1862.

_____________________________________________________

At one time, this was the Rio Vista Public Cemetery and Protestant Cemetery (or portions of them). There are still thirty five burials/headstones here in the park.

Rio Vista Memorial Park is now a city park of about 1-1/2 acres located at the intersection of Highway 12 and Main Street in Rio Vista and is managed by the City of Rio Vista.

The majority of the headstones are not in English. Efforts will be made to get them transcribed and changed from Unknowns if possible.

This park is located next to the Rio Vista Catholic Cemetery which is still an active cemetery.
