Description du lieu patrimonial
St. Joseph's Cemetery is a Municipal Heritage Property located approximately 10 kilometres south of the Village of Lestock in the Rural Municipality of Kellross No. 247. Situated on a quarter section of land, the property features a cemetery established in 1909 surrounded by a metal fence.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of St. Joseph's Cemetery lies in its association with the area's pioneers. Hungarian and Slavic families who settled in the area worked together to establish St. Joseph's congregation. A cemetery was established in 1909 and a church and hall were built the following year on land donated by a local parishioner. The property was the religious and social hub of Hungarian and Slavic families in the vicinity until the church and hall were removed in the 1960s. The cemetery still remains a local landmark and provides a tangible link to many of the area's early settlers.
