About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery is located on the edge of a coulee on private land just east of the hamlet of Diamond City, Alberta. It is overgrown and has been neglected for many years. It appears the most recent internment took place in 1951. Most of the headstones had toppled over when I visited in July 2013.

The cemetery is quite large and at least two graves are outside the main fenced area. There may be more headstones hiding in the long grass but they are hard to locate. I photographed the ones I could find.

SINCE THIS CEMETERY IS ON PRIVATE LAND PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER MUST BE OBTAINED PRIOR TO VISITING THE SITE. IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING I HAVE NOT PROVIDED DIRECTIONS TO THE CEMETERY.

According to the Alberta Genealogical Society, Lethbridge & District Branch there are 55 burials at this site. Information for memorials with no headstone photos was acquired from the aforementioned source.
