Wm. Brown Veteran Headstone

4. Veterans' Section

A military marker provided by the U.S. government tells the story of Mr. Brown, a veteran who served in a segregated unit. This headstone represents a powerful reminder of historical challenges while highlighting the cemetery's long-standing commitment to inclusivity. Riverside Cemetery was never segregated and has always welcomed burials from all members of the community.
