I find no history of this cemetery. I find the Catholic Church (St. Marys) moved from the country into town around 1909, but where the previous cemetery was, and was it this one, I cannot be sure.
But I doubt it. These grave and stones are all newer, after the 1909 date. Somewhere there is a much older cemetery that once was this churches.

NOTE: New info: The church and cemetery was at Mashek, a town east of here. Town no longer exists. The church moved to Hawk Point around 1909 and the new church built in 1928. The new cemetery (this one) was opened around 1928
