History
- Riverside Cemetery is located just West of the Little White River and two miles North of Losantville, Indiana. Losantville is a small, rural community in Randolph County with a history tied to the early development of railroads and its unique name, which is derived from Cincinnati, Ohio's original name (Losantiville) . The town was first known as Hunts Cross Roads and was platted in 1851. The name Losantville was adopted later, and a post office was established in 1854. Losantville played a part in Randolph County's prosperity during the period before and after the Civil War, thanks to the railroads that were established during that time.
- The original section of land for the cemetery was purchased May 15, 1896 from Christian H. Leeka and Sidney A. Leeka at a cost of $320. An addition was purchased June 16, 1941 from Clifford E. Johnson and Oval D. Johnson at a cost of $626. A 2nd addition was purchased November 23, 1998 from William M. Golliher and Anna Jean Golliher at a cost of $27,524.
- The earliest burials at Riverside are marked by stones for Edwin (1879), Harley (1878), and Allen (1879) Franks. These were followed by burials of infant Hunt twins (1879-1880), children of Edward (1932) and Mary (1930) Hunt.
