All 3 parts of Riverside Cemetery are managed as one by the City of Moline. Read the “History of Riverside Cemetery” at the City of Moline webpages.
The oldest part, called the 4th Avenue Section, is between 4th Ave and 5th Ave about 0.2 miles west of 34th St. It was incorporated as a cemetery in 1851. This part of the cemetery is inactive but well maintained by the city. The “Hillside” is the newer part. It was designed in 1874 and opened circa 1875. One cemetery board managed both the Old and New parts of the cemetery. Certain parts of the Hillside are inactive. The “Hillside” is where folks ranging from John Deere to jazz drummer Louie Bellson are buried.
The Chapel Mausoleum is outside of and just north of the “Hillside” main entrance. It opened in 1916 and is inactive for sales.
