NOTES from Rod Beattie

Alma McDonald in the local history book 'Wiseton 1905-1980' reported that the Holt-Mosten Cemetery was started in 1908 when Charlie Holt donated an acre of his homestead NW � 36-26-12, W3 south of the correction line.

The cemetery was named Holt Cemetery after Mr. Holt but because of its closeness to the Mosten Post Office, it was and still is often called 'Mosten' Cemetery. The land was high with graves set north and south�overlooking the vast expense of flat prairie to the north.

The first burials among the early settlers were Miss Emma Jane MacDonald, who died of tuberculosis on May 23, 1908 and a young man, Mr. John Harrison Brien who died of typhoid fever on May 31, 1908. Many pioneers of the Dinsmore, Wiseton, and the RMs of King George #256 and Milden #286 now rest here. The grounds are well kept and are looked after by family, neighbors, and friends. As Alma McDonald noted in 1980 there is no Wiseton Cemetery so the Holt-Mosten Cemetery serves the village of Wiseton and district. While there are many people from the village of Dinsmore, along with those who lived in the RMs of King George and Milden interred at the Holt-Mosten Cemetery�deceased residents of these locations are also found in other cemeteries in the area.

Information for this cemetery was collated from several sources. The primary sources were the actual grave markers, head stones, and memorial plaques if and when present. A copy of the burial register found at the cemetery building was also used as a primary source. As the people interned represented a relatively large geographic area some detailed information was sourced from several local history books. The collection of history books consulted included: Dynamic Dinsmore (1979); Dynamic Dinsmore & District (1995) �A Place to Call Home�; Looking Back at Abermule, Gopher Hill, Mosten, Pontiac, Star Centre (1967); Looking Back - R.M. King George South - Coteau Hill, Crescent Valley, Hill Point, Lake Marion, Lance Valley, Sleepy Hollow (1969); and Wiseton 1905-1980 (1980).

In a number of instances there were incongruencies in the spelling or order of names, family relationships, dates of birth or death, and the ages of the people. The resolution of these problems through initial research wasn�t always possible so a �best guess� approach was taken where there seemed to be a general consensus emerging in the secondary sources. Unfortunately, even with a rather extensive research effort, missing data remains for several internments.

Documented additions, amendments, or corrections would be appreciated and will be included in a future revision.
