This
information was provided by Alex Morrison about the Callion Cemetery
which is on Credo Station. In the photo links the grave on the left is
of William Leslie Calder.
There are a
couple of pieces of tin lying on the graves which are believed to be the original markers.
The
'Headstones' are really thick Iron plates with the details put on with
a welder. They have been painted white making it difficult to read and
impossible to photograph. The head original headboards were replaced in
1956 with the more durable ones now there.
Callion was
gazetted as a town in 1897 so maybe the Calder child was the son of a
lone prospector.
Alex tidied
them up and put some wildflowers on them.
