A part of the story of the town and its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 2009 is told in the volume "Settlers Of The East Reserve - Moving In - Moving Out - Staying". 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. 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 106-page, 1996 MGS Special Projects publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition).
