Owned and managed by the RM of Minto-Odanah and was established in 1893.

This property was the former site of the Anglican church and cemetery. The church moved off-site to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin, MB. The cemetery was maintained by a group of local people until 1995 when purchased by the Rural Municipality.

The Municipal Council does not operate this as an ongoing cemetery and will only sell plots to people who have relatives already buried here.

In the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah

A part of the town's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1973 is told in the volumes "They called it Odanah", especially starting on page 23, and "A History of Elton Municipality - Homesteaders and Homemakers -- A History of Elton Municipality in its First Century".

Free digital versions of these 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 #0127), transcribed by a member or members. 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).

Additionally, many records for Anglican congregations in Manitoba and over part of the territory designated historically as "Rupert's Land" (esp, as bounded on the south by the U.S. border, extending north into the Manitoba Interlake Region past Fairford, with the western boundary reaching into the Pembina Hills and includes Portage la Prairie, eastward the diocese stretches to Sioux Lookout/Atikokan) are now with the Diocese of Rupert's Land and are kept in their offices in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
