This small cemetery atop a small hill along highway 21 in the Municipality of Grassland was also the site of a Society of Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. Built in 1899, services were held in it until 1949 when it was moved to the village of Dand where it became Dand United Church. A commemorative monument was erected at the site in 1967.
