In 1941, in response to the 16 May 1941 Politburo resolution, about 130 deported Lithuanians were allocated to the Kutash settlement in the Ongudaisky district. Those who died were buried according to Catholic rites in a separate section of the graveyard, with headboards on their graves. The total numbers who died have not been established.

In 1990, relatives of the deportees buried in the graveyard visited Kutash and erected a monument there. It took the form of a brick wall with a niche, next to which was attached a metal plaque which reads (in Cyrillic script): “А † А / Exiles from Lithuania / Maria Matskevich, 1895-1942 / Cleophas Matskevich, 1899-1942 / Janina Jagelyova, 1869-1942 / Janina Jageliovna, 1899-1942 / Anna Kaminska, 1866-1942”. In 1991, Lithuanian researcher Gintautas Alekna studied the graveyard,  carried out a photo survey, uncovered 20 graves with surviving crosses and name plates, and drew up a plan of their layout and a list of those buried there.

In 2009, the cemetery was visited by Father Andrzej Obuchowski from Biisk and he conducted a memorial service there. In 2011, Alekna again visited the cemetery and the following year members of the “Destination, Siberia” youth expedition from Lithuania worked in the graveyard. They cleared the territory, restored the memorial erected in 1990, and placed a wooden crucifix (author Robertas Ozalinskas) in the niche.
