Smith located on the southwest corner of the NE 1/4 of Section 2, Township 8, Range 1, West of the 3rd Meridian which is about a mile and half west from the town of Assiniboia. The price paid was $60 per acre with a cash payment of $600.00. A roadway was also purchased along the southern line of the quarter for direct access to the grounds. Formerly a portion of the John Law homestead, it was on occasion referred to as "Prairie West" but more formally as "Prairie Rest". On January 3, 1913, Mrs. Augusta A. Zimmerman was interred on this land along with an unnamed, unrelated baby. Over time there was a total of 206 people interred at Prairie Rest but after the inception of a second cemetery, named Mount Hope in 1924, the first site was seldom used. Starting around 1926, some 51 graves were moved, over time, to new locations, the majority to Mount Hope. As of October 29, 2012, there are approximately 155 individuals whose remains are interred at Prairie Rest. Of those, 49 have formal grave markers and many others, by the good graces of Mr. Walter Chipak, have wooden markers. Most of the people interred at Prairie Rest are also identified on a large bronze plaque situated on the south side of the main entrance at Mount Hope. The plaque was purchased courtesy of the Marlow Ross family and erected in 1990 with the wording, "IN MEMORY OF THE PIONEERS AND THEIR FAMILIES BURIED IN PRAIRIE REST CEMETERY, 1913 - 1924."
