St. Luke's cemetery is the burial site of parishioners of St. Anthony's Catholic Church that burnt down in 1890 along with the wooden Baptist Church located in the same area. Since the rectory was next to the church, it is assumed that all records were lost.

A new Baptist church, built of stone, was erected two years later. It survived until abandoned during the building of the Wachusett Reservoir and is known as the "Old Stone Church".

St. Anthony's was not rebuilt in that location.

More recently, the stones were removed from the cemetery, the cemetery graded level, and the stones then returned. Regrettably, during this operation, some of the stones' original location information was lost. The stones with a known original location were replaced; those with unknown original locations were lined up along the edge of the cemetery. There are some stones that still remain in the woods at the far end of the cemetery.
