Florence Nyvall was a prominent community leader involved in civic improvements, helping to establish the Longville Welfare Society that would eventually come to be known as the Riverside Cemetery Association in the late 1920's. Click Here to Learn More About the Riverside Cemetery. Florence Nyvall's son, Russell "Russ" Nyvall, carried on his family's tradition of community service through baseball. Today, Russ is best remembered for more than a decade coaching Longville's youth. But from 1946-1950 Russ was the local baseball star in Longville. He was pitcher, first baseman, and catcher for the Longville team. They say out of town teams drafted him to play for them at tournament times, because every time Russ would hit the ball, it would go so far into the woods they’d never find it! The Origins of Turtle Races Did you know? Russ Nyvall is also credited with introducing the Longville Turtle Races back in 1967 after he and several of the local men in town originally tossed around the concept. Russ noticed that the kids visiting Longville with their families had nothing to do, so he borrowed an idea he had heard about and adapted it to Main Street. Now a longstanding tradition for over 50 years, the Turtle Races in Longville provide a great family activity for vacationing guests in and around the area. Over the years the races have become so important that a resolution was passed in 1989 by the Minnesota House of Representatives declaring Longville, Minnesota the Turtle Racing Capital of the World!

History of the Cemetery Riverside Cemetery was established in 1920 when the owners of the Bide-A-Wee Inn hotel (operating today as the Longville Inn) generously donated an acre of land along the Little Boy River and sold an adjoining one and a half acres to the town for $100. The spot was chosen by Mr. and Mrs. Jordan as the resting place for their little son Billy, who died of Scarlet Fever in 1915. At the time, the town board declined to shoulder responsibility for the cemetery, so a ladies society called "The Willing Workers" stepped forward to run things. The organization would eventually be formally incorporated as "The Longville Welfare Society" in 1921, renamed “Longville Ladies Community Aid” in 1926, and later divested as “Riverside Cemetery Association” in 1929. In 1944, the association would transfer all of its operations to the City of Longville when most of the original members had passed away or were unable to continue their work. Founding Members of The Longville Welfare Society: · Mrs. Florence Craig - President · Mrs. Louise Jordan - Vice President · Mrs. Letta Manders - Secretary · Mrs. Gladys Fuller - Treasurer Charter Members who Helped Establish and Maintain the Cemetery: · Mrs. Jessie Englehart · Mrs. Marie Thorson · Mrs. Iona Rose · Mrs. Emily E.
