This cemetery in the Municipality of Brenda-Waskada near Napinka was established in 1898. A plaque on the gate to the cemetery indicates spruce trees on the site were brought here from the Carberry Hills in 1903 by Napinka-area pioneer E. A. “Gus” Wright. A monument in the cemetery commemorating local war veterans was dedicated on 26 June 2011 by Branch #89 (Napinka & Area) of the Royal Canadian Legion.
