02 BGW - Riverside Cemetery:

In 1777 John Smith, Jr. provided a half-acre plot at the intersection of Front and Church Streets for a burial ground in the new town named in his honor. The oldest surviving marker is from 1825, as earlier grave markers have not survived the ravages of time. A Confederate monument erected in 1887stands in front of sixteen graves of Confederate soldiers, who died in Smithfield following the Battle of Bentonville. The cemetery features two statues by the late Frank Creech, a local artist.
