Empress: Does anyone know if anything remains of "Empress West", where they started building before they started moving closer to the border?

Question 2: Does anyone have any idea where people were being buried before the current cemetery land was granted in the summer of 1915? Before then, the "Empress Express" mentioned people being buried in the "Empress Cemetery".

My latest dive into research: Jacob/Jakob Seidler.
He is buried in the Cornfeld/Cornfield Peace Lutheran Cemetery (9.2 km / 5.7 miles south of Eatonia, SK), with two (currently, I'm working on it), unnamed daughters.
He was born in Bessarabia, Russia, which is now Moldova, sometime between 1870-1879.
Emigrated with his wife and 3 sons to Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1903.
Successfully homesteaded near Melville, SK, then moved on to Cornfeld, SK (just south of Eatonia), and homesteaded successfully there also.
He and his wife Carolina Becker had 4 children in their old country, and 8 children in Saskatchewan.
The Eatonia history book says he died in 1918 while digging a well.
