This cemetery in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth was formerly the site of St. Ludwiga Polish National Catholic Church, built in 1906 or 1907 for Polish and Ukrainian Orthodox congregants. The last service was held in 1954 and, in 1970, the derelict building was demolished. The associated cemetery, also known as Stony Hill Cemetery (spelled Stoney Hill on an entrance sign), remains in use. A small building in the cemetery, on the former site of St. Ludwiga Polish National Church, contains the bell from the church.
