After district meetings, a land parcel was purchased from G. Clenndenning in 1890 and the first cemetery lots were sold. An additional 0.5 acres of land adjacent to Greenwood Cemetery was purchased in 1903, while another 1.5 acres to the west was purchased in 1954.
It was on this property that the Bradwardine Methodist Church was later constructed in the fall of 1892. In 1905, the church building was moved to Harding by horses.

This is an old cemetery, not manicured but looked after, with original prairie sod and maple trees along the edge and scattered throughout. It is open to the north.
It has a page-wire fence and a page-wire gate with the name and dates 1890 and 1913. There is another entry gate along the west side that opens to a road and utility shed. Two rows of fir trees have been planted. There are several enclosed family plots.

A part of the town's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1981 is told in the volume "Home to Harding 1879-1981", especially starting on page 63. 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 #0064), transcribed by a member or members in 1980. 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).
