With graves on both the north and south sides of the church, this cemetery occupies a fairly large area. The first burial took place in 1905, and by 1998 there were 169 grave sites.

All of the names are Norwegian. The area was settled in the early 1900's by people who came mostly from Minnesota. The "Lac Qui Parle" name also come from there, being the name of the Lutheran Church they left behind.
