This cemetery is situated along Highway 75, south of Morris, in the Rural Municipality of Morris. A monument next to several fallen grave markers, some dating to the 1880s, was erected in 1967 to commemorate pioneers of this region. A plaque added since a 2012 site visit states that the Grace Methodist cemetery was located here from 1884 to 1920, on a two-acre land parcel donated by Thomas Moody. It is unknown how many people were buried here.
