Lennonville (Warramboo) Cemeteries

An old mines map shows two cemeteries at Lennonville. One is west of the Great Northern Highway (Warramboo) and has a fence around it with one headstone. The other cemetery is shown east of the road. I have walked to this area, but there are no visible markings whatsoever. There are apparently 13 graves on this site.

Warramboo

Name	Date of Death	Other Information
Batty, Jean	18/6/1908	Aged 42
Bettini, Giacomo	23/1/1901	He became lost in the bush and died of thirst.
Campbell, Alexander	26/4/1910	Aged 4. Died of diptheria.
Hartrick, Mabel	28/9/1907	Aged 33.
McGee, Kathleen Agnes	5/2/1908	Aged 3 weeks.

This is the list of names in the unmarked cemetery on the eastern side of the Great Northern Highway. As I was compiling this list I was struck by the tragedy of how many children were buried there, in fact most of those were just babies and the deaths occured over a relatively small period of time. With the exception of the two miners, this is a cemetery of babies. The Campbell's lost three children at Lennonville between 1905 and 1910.
