Most of these settlers were originally from England, Ireland or Scotland, with a few families from Eastern Canada and Europe. They left their home countries in the hope of improving their living conditions in the new. They usually travelled out with their families, and it took about three weeks or more after leaving until they reached Winnipeg, where they often stayed for a time working, before moving out to their homesteads, where they worked at mixed farming and cutting and hauling firewood to Winnipeg. They settled on poplar and jack pine ridges, because the low places were spruce swamps.
The land had only been surveyed to where Highway 15 now is, and from there was a line for forty-acre wood lots. From here the homesteaders ran lines to find where their homesteads would be.
The following pioneers were among the earliest of these settlers in the northern part of the township of Richland I0-7E. Long before the name of "Queen's Valley" was given to this district and before the final government survey had gone through, the first old-timer came to settle on the N.W. ¼ Section 28-10-7-E1. He was Joseph Beddall, Sr., a Crimean War veteran from Lancashire, England.

Established in 1907.
Originally a part of the Michael Kallwies farm. It was deeded to the RM of Springfield on January 26, 1909. Burials took place from 1907 to 1938. It was inactive for the next 50 years.
Work undertaken in 1987 to verify records etc, allowed the cemetery to be reopened for use in the spring of 1988.

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 volume "Springfield - First Rural Municipality in Manitoba, 1873 - 1973", especially starting on page 356. 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 #0208), transcribed by a member or members in 1985 and updated in 1995. 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).
