"For two years, there were just two nurses, so we were on 24-hour call. Doors were never locked and the patients would walk in and pound a handbell to awaken us. The mobile patients saved us as much as they could by doing many things for the bedridden.

As the men got homes built and brought their families in, the population increased. Many babies were born in their homes. It wasn't unusual to see a Doctor and a nurse sitting on cardboard and sliding between the trees down the then very steep Ross Lake hill — Doctor's bag held high! You wouldn't believe some of the places and predicaments we got into. There was no Public Health Service in the early days, so it was up to us to do all the vaccinations and inoculations. Also, we made quite a lot of house calls. Dysentry amongst babies was common. The little cemetery on the outskirts of town (in Saskatchewan) bears mute proof of the number of casualties."

As noted above, a part of the town's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1974 is told in the volume "Flin Flon", especially on the cited pages. A free digital version of this and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0800), transcribed by a member or members in 1994. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
