Riverside Cemetery

Riverside Cemetery Riverside Cemetery is truly a microcosm of the history of Waterbury, Connecticut. Upson. Hill, was completed in 1885.

On its stones are carved the names of men and women who made this city an industrial powerhouse and the "Brass Center of the World." The first section of this lovely spot, above the Naugatuck River, was purchased in 1850. It was considered an ideal location for a new cemetery to replace the Old burying Ground on Grand and Meadow Streets. Dedicated in 1853, Riverside Cemetery soon became a park-lik

e sanctuary with beautiful trees, lakes, and magnificent monuments, many created by famous sculptors. The first interment in the new cemetery was on July 14, 1853 (Harriet Upson, the first wife of the late Thomas C. The gothic-revival, stone Hall Memorial Chapel, designed by the noted Waterbury architect, Robert W. It was built at the bequest of Samuel William Hall, in memory of his wife Nancy Austin Hall. The historical significance of this cemetery, its statuaries, and chapel, have resulted in its placement, in 1988, on the National Register of Historic Places.

It was good to read that the scumbag who vandalized the cemetery back in Decmeber is getting what he deserves (6years in jail)..it doesn't bring back LADY LIFE..he completely destroyed her, but it does bring some justice! All anger aside, I hope he gets the help he soooo needs for the addiction and learns something from this mistake..
