The Evangelical congregation has been active in Killaloe since 1875, when services were first held in the home of August GETZ, a Baptist Deacon. He later became a “local preacher” in this Evangelical church. At the age of 81 years, he was still preaching every second Sunday. The old bonds with the Baptist church remained for he was laid to rest in the GETZ plot of the Immanuel Cemetery (Baptist), stone #99 Conc. III, Lot 17, Hagarty Township.

The first church erected was of log structure, built on what is now the cemetery grounds. This acre of land on which the church stood was donated by a Polish friend, John BORUTSKIE.

Four years after the erection of the church, the railroad line was built through the community and as a result, the hamlet known as Fort MacDonald was renamed Killaloe Station. The congregation decided to move their church to a tract of land in the village beside the railway tracks after this new mode of transportation became a reality.

Extensive improvements were made to the church in 1917; a gallery was built to increase seating capacity and a basement added. In 1930 a choir loft was erected and an annex as a side entrance. In 1962, lots were purchased on Highway #60/62 which bypasses the village. The sod-turning was April 1963, and in December 1963 the congregation held its Christmas service in the new church. The official opening ceremonies were held on December 29, 1963.

This church did not join with the United Church but instead transferred to the Norwest Canada Conference of the Evangelical Church and this became effective on July 1, 1969. Its sister church, Salem Evangelical at Augsberg, did the same and from that time these two congregations have remained self-supporting.

The cemetery is located on Hagarty Road #27. Take Highway #62 north out of Killaloe Station, turn left on Hagarty Road #15, turn left on Hagarty Road #27 and it is several hundred feet from this corner. The caretaker prior to 1976 was Matthew NOACK, when Ellard SCHOENFELDT took over the duties. Since Ellard became caretaker, he has drawn up a plan where each plot is identified alphabetically north to south, and numerically east to west. (Burial information from Ellard SCHOENFELDT. History from “Grace Evangelical Church-A Century of Service 1875-1975”)

Where information appears on more than one face of the stone, a space is left in the recording denoting either the back or side of the same stone.
