This cemetery, established in the 1880s near Macdonald in the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie, was long neglected. It was restored through the efforts of local residents Beryl Davidson and Dorothy Gillespie (whose grandfather had donated the land). It is a municipally-designated heritage site (1991).
