Before the 1900's      Back in 1882 a group of Portland families organized the non-profit River View Cemetery Association - mutually owned by those who choose this as the eternal resting place for loved ones.      River View was to be the primary cemetery for the growing riverfront town of Portland.      These Portland people were leaders in the community and many streets and buildings carry their names today - Corbett, Ladd, Failing, Benson, Terwilliger, Pittock, to name a few.      Entering from Taylor's Ferry the cemetery road winds around the 1902 "Roll Call" statue of the Spanish American War sergeant dramatically circled by aged white marble headstones of 165 Oregonians who died in that War.      This is just the beginning. River View is full of interesting history. It lives at every turn.      To fulfill the objectives set forth for River View well over a hundred years ago, a non-profit endowment fund was established which continues today with a balance of several million dollars. Conservative endowment investments are assurance that River View will continue to offer endowment care, ongoing service, maintenance and expansion for generations to come.
