This book includes transcriptions of all memorial stones that were present in August of 1990. Some stones may no longer exist nor be easily readable today. The transcribers published the results in 1992. The following is a historical sketch of the cemetery prepared by Geraldine KUEHL in 1990:
The first plan made of the cemetery was burned in the fire of 1911 and we have no record of the date the plan was made. In 1929, pine trees were cut down by Mr. George GRIFFITH and Samuel LEACH. In the same year, a tile drain was put through the new part of the cemetery and the use of cement walls around plots was prohibited. In 1932, the stumps were removed and in 1935 the grading and seeding was done. In 1942 the first cemetery service was held on September 13th. In 1960 the old fence was removed and a new one erected. A pair of stone pillars was placed at the main entrance as well as a pair of iron gates. The Memorial Gateway was dedicated by Bishop E.S. REED, June 25th, 1961. (from the book “Pioneer Reminiscences of the Upper Ottawa Valley” by Ernest Lloyd LAKE, BA, LTH, Rural Dean of Pembroke, 1967). [A photograph of the gates from 2023 is included on the front cover of the this book]. The caretakers in 1990 were Garnet MUNDT and Harry LETT. Contents include:
