As noted above, a part of the town's story, and those of its inhabitants, from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1990 is told in the volume "Reflections - A History of Sainte-Amelie, Laurier, and Sainte-Rose-du-Lac", especially starting on the cited pages. A free digital version of this and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0459), transcribed by a member or members in 1989 and updated in 1993 and 2022. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
