This impressive 28-foot by 44-foot stone church south of Manitou, near Kaleida in the Rural Municipality of Pembina, was designed by Winnipeg architect Charles Wheeler and built in 1892, at a cost of some $6,500, by local farmer William Henry Bowler and the construction firm of Kerr and Magee. It was named Winram Memorial Church in commemoration of William James Winram.

The building is a municipally designated historic site as of 2011.

A part of the story of the town and its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1986 is told in the volume "Kaleidoscope - A History of the Early Pioneers and Their Descendants of Kaleida, Overdale, Riverdale, and Pembina Crossing", especially starting on page 22. 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 #0325), transcribed by a member or members in 1988 and updated in 2015. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the MGS Manitoba Name Index (or MANI).

Additionally, the local Pembina Manitou Archive curates a considerable collection of records and information about the people and places of the area, including a listing of those buried in this cemetery based on the files of the Rural Municipality of Pembina, the church files, and the information on the gravestones in the cemetery.

The cemetery is managed by a local committee, whose current contact information is available on the RM of Pembina website [2023/08].
