Centerville Riverview Cemetery  -  Centerville Township  -  Turner County  -  South  Dakota

Southeastern South Dakota is scattered with farms.  One of early Centerville's summer activities shows these families love of the community which easily transfered to love of the land.

A strong school system strengthens community ties.  The Centerville school teams are known as the Tornadoes. 

  A community event is still looked forward to by all and involves the whole community, city and rural.   Modern transportation has reduced distances for shopping, such events help draw people.


The elementary school is a newer building as is the city library. While the high school can be visited by many area folks and brings fond memories of their days roaming the halls.

The lazy Vermilion River near Centerville.   The Vermillion, Sioux and James rivers can erupt with flood waters, as they drain all of eastern North and South Dakota into the Missouri.

A magnificant Southeastern South Dakota sunset.   A part of the stuff that drew early pioneer families to settle on this prarrie    and still beacons their hearts today.

Agriculture is King in all of Turner County, but especially in the Southeastern parts.  This panorama shows the Missouri River Valley with the Vermillion River visible in the center foreground.

The pioneers were drawn to these fertile lands, they brought their families, their labor, and their livestock.  They also brought their dreams and their churches, and managed to create the society that we all enjoy.   They themselves reside in the cemeteries that they organized, on their farms, by their churches and near the towns.  We are all richer for the efforts of our forefathers.
