| Extra comments: | The Pioneer Cemetery had the first of about 73 burials in
1858. But because the "this place was found impossible to dig graves deep enough on
account of the slate bottom", it was declared in 1859 that a second cemetery on
Two Mile creek (by the current Hume Freeway) be used. This "Old" cemetery
opened in 1860 and closed in 1881 because of many complaints that it was to far from town,
too wet and swampy, it was unfit for burials and that the graves were haphazardly
arranged. The board at the gate states there are over 1000 burials there although the sad
part being there would be less than 100 headstones. It also appears that burials also took
place in the Pioneer cemetery during this period. The cemetery in use today
commenced in 1881 and is called the "New" cemetery! [Thanks to Loretta &
others] For details of the original Pioneer cemetery, see http://www.piko.com.au/photo/i%20cemetery%202002-01/html/index.htm |

| Extra comments: | Strathbogie cemetery was thought to be closed after the 1940s so fell into disrepair. The next burial was 50 years later after it was found to be still open. New trustees were sought, the cemetery tidied and it is now used again for what it was meant for. There are less than 40 burials there in 2002. [Loretta] | ||||
