This is a small cemetery literally in the middle of nowhere. It's in the middle of a field and only accessible by a dirt road (which is very easily missed when the crop is maturing). This cemetery at one time bordered along the Assiniboine River but, erosion along the banks exposed some of the coffins so they were moved further inland.
Here are the stone markers for 16 of the men hung in Winnipeg/Manitoba. They are:
