The Harvest Settlement Cemetery is located on Route 3 in the rural community of Harvey Station/Manners Sutton. The cemetery is officially owned by the Harvey Settlement Cemetery Co. Ltd. In 1874, the Harvey Burying Ground was established by 81 residents of the community and 5 trustees were appointed. The property was deed to the trustees on January 5, 1875 and then vested to the Harvey Settlement Cemetery Company Ltd. on July 26, 1941 with the Company being established in 1938. The cemetery is less than 100 meters from the Knox Presbyterian Church however it serves as the primary cemetery for the entire area (the only other cemetery being the much smaller Cherry Mountain Cemetery in Harvey which was established in 1965). There are over 1,900 burials in the cemetery. The cemetery property (GNB PID# 75236315) totals 17.5 acres with less than half of the property currently being utilized and the other half being woodland. The original deed was 20 acres however some areas were subdivided from the property in 1991 and 2001. In 1950, a small parcel was added to the cemetery; in it today is a commemorative monument to site of the first Presbyterian Church in Harvey Settlement.
