The other Cemetery, primarily a Native American cemetery, has been named after its most prominent resident,
Ranald MacDonald. This cemetery, a few miles further north and on the other side of the Kettle River, is about 1.5 miles west of the extinct mining town of Toroda. Toroda came into existence around the turn of the twentieth century and this cemetery shortly after.
Find A Grave lists 82 interments here, which may or may not be accurate, as there are fewer than half that many headstones visible today. The earliest burials it lists are those of Vernon R. Bauman and 'Emanuel' Emmett Brannan, both of whom died in 1907 in their first year.
There have been burials here as recently as 2015 so we may safely assume the cemetery to remain in use.
