This first burials in this unmarked cemetery in the Rural Municipality of Morris occurred in 1907 and its use had apparently ended around 1930. The site is near the location of the first school and church (established 1887) in the former village of Rosenhoff, established by Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites who settled the area in 1874.
The religious group associated with this cemetery has been referred to under three names since its inception. The group changed its name from Kleine Gemeinde to Evangelical Mennonite Church in 1952 and to Evangelical Mennonite Conference in 1959.
