About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is mainly historic. Tail Creek is reputed to have been a large community of Metis, in the late 1800's who hunted the buffalo in the area. The community declined when the buffalo were gone, but some continued on because there was a trail passing through that connected some of the major communities in Alberta. A fire in 1898 is said to have wiped out all the buildings except one which is preserved in Stettler Alberta. But Mr. & Mrs House are said to have run an Inn in the area till the early 1900's. They are buried here. Most of the graves are unidentified crosses, which are probably of the Metis from the area.
