Note: after originally being buried in a cemetery on "Burramine", but Robert later removed the casket to the present Burramine Cemetery. A reddish brown stone written on but not lettered, and hard to read. There was also a granite headstone a foot wide and six feet high with writing, but I (Bob) could never read the name. I was told in recent years by former councillor Andrew Collins that this body was a governess connected with Burramine Homestead unknown to me. There was also another grave covered by a frame work and wire netting which I understand was also connected with the Homestead^[7]
