The congregation later dispersed and in the early 1920s a community group took over control of the cemetery. Lifetime memberships, levies and donations provided the funds for its maintenance. Harry Blahey was caretaker of the cemetery from 1957 until his death in 2000, and was responsible for marking plot locations, maintaining records of transactions, handling burial permits and maintaining the cemetery grounds. During this time, the cemetery stopped offering lifetime memberships and began selling plots instead. Until the early 1990s, title to the cemetery did not exist; the cemetery land was included in the title for the whole quarter section. In the 1990s, the Rural Municipality of Armstrong had a separate title created and the RM took on the title and responsibility for the Chatfield Community Cemetery." From personal family history - Land donated for the Ukrainian Orthodox church originally located across the road from the cemetery was given by Andrew Shushkewich who lies buried in the cemetery along with his wife Kataryna Shushkewich and several other family members. People with surnames like Shushkewich, Blahey, Ledochowski, Mykytyn were original settlers to the area. Many others buried at the cemetery would also be among the earliest settlers of the area.
