According to the Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada website:
"Mountain View Pioneer Cemetery is an old cemetery which was used from 1889 to 1913. This was a private cemetery which is located on 6th Avenue South and Government Road South in Weyburn. It is commonly known as the South Hill cemetery.
Vandalism was a problem with headstones being moved and damaged. Records were destroyed in a fire. A cairn was built and all names were transferred to the cairn. All tombstones were buried as close to the exact spot as could be determined and the cemetery was turned into a green space.
The records containing names, and some dates, are now kept by the City of Weyburn in custody of the Parks Department."
123 burials
