Description	:	Much of this cemetery has been plowed under, but a check with a metal detector confirmed some years ago that the adjacent hay field was once part of the cemetery. Over the years undecorated graves have had their stones removed. It seems apparent that before too long the cemetery will revert to farm land. A cemetery record does exist. The entries in this cemetery were found on page 91 of the cemetery book, which indicated it was a very extensive cemetery that has been intentionally reverted to farm land. Entries indicate that burials took place as late as 1916. ...

Over the years undecorated graves have had their stones removed. It seems apparent that before too long the cemetery will revert to farm land. A cemetery record does exist. The entries in this cemetery were found on page 91 of the cemetery book, which indicated it was a very extensive cemetery that has been intentionally reverted to farm land. Entries indicate that burials took place as late as 1916. Entry from a book from Nebraska Genealogical Society of 1923: "The Jindra Cemetery, laid out in 1873, was known as Maple Grove Cemetery. It is situated on the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 2, township 7, north of range 4, east of the 6th P. M. in Saline county, Nebraska., being approximately one and one-half miles south and east of Crete. The above forty acre tract was conveyed, November 26. 1873, by Wencl Jelinek and Annie Jelinek, his wife, to the directors of the said Maple Grove Cemetery, namely: G. V. Bridges, Charles Little, James Donnelly, J. R. Webster, and E. O. Wallace. The Riverside Cemetery was platted September 13, 1879. The first addition to this cemetery was platted October 13, 1884; the second, August 30, 1887; the third, August 4, 1888, and the fourth, June 23, 1920. Mr. Jesse C. Bickle laid out Riverside Cemetery in 1879, it being twenty acres in southeast corner of section 28, township 8, range 4. After Mr. Bickle had platted the cemetery he offered cemetery lots free of charge to those who had people buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, better known to the people of Crete as "Jindra Cemetery." Quite a number availed themselves of the opportunity and many bodies were removed to Riverside. The Riverside Cemetery was managed by Mr. J. C. Bickle until his death in 1885, after which his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Bickle, took charge until her death in 1900. She willed the cemetery to her brother, Mr. I. F. Hunt, who managed it until 1910".
