This cemetery is at what was once the State Mental Hospital in Yankton. Most of the stones are simply numbered, although there are a few with names and dates. The names of the people were not made available to the general public after 1941.
This was always known simply as the State Mental Hospital Cemetery. Circa 2015 a sign was placed re-naming it "Rest View" cemetery.
