Add PhotosThe village of Rounthwaite was originally established on SW quarter of section 23, one and a half miles west of the present site, by a small group of Englishmen. It was called Naughton. An Anglican church was built there in 1882 but the post office was three-quarters of a mile south on section 14 with Samuel Rounthwaite as postmaster. Some traces of the building can still be seen.
The railroad came north from Morris about 1890 and connected with Brandon. Soon after, the settlement, including church and post office, was moved to the present site and the name changed to Rounthwaite. However, the name was not officially registered, so Naughton is still the official name on the files at the land titles office.

As noted above, a part of the community's story, and those of its inhabitants, from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1970 is told in the volume "Oakland Echoes 1879-1970", especially starting on the cited page. 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 #0116), transcribed by a member or members in 1979. 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).

Additionally, many records for Anglican congregations in Manitoba and over part of the territory designated historically as "Rupert's Land" (esp, as bounded on the south by the U.S. border, extending north into the Manitoba Interlake Region past Fairford, with the western boundary reaching into the Pembina Hills and includes Portage la Prairie, eastward the diocese stretches to Sioux Lookout/Atikokan) are now with the Diocese of Rupert's Land and are kept in their offices in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
