SA lonely graves (CD)

This CD comprises of graves outside declared cemeteries, or in small disused cemeteries, on station properties, railway sidings or which are solitary graves. Given the conditions of South Australia as a frontier in the 1800s-1900s, no doubt many were buried where they died. The list is not restricted to confirmed graves but also contains suspected grave sites. Scattered ashes are not included unless a specific memorial has been erected in the vicinity. Other monuments and memorials are not included. They are called lonely, not because they are uncared for, or neglected, but the fact that they are isolated and not widely known.
This collection describes a compilation of the graves in South Australia collected since 1994. Details of over 1400 lonely graves which range right across the state.
Apart from submissions by the public, local history books have been searched, as have the Public Trustee Intestate Records, Inquest Files, Police Station Journals and files, Government Gazettes, GRO District Registrar's Duplicate Death Certificates, and many pastoral holdings visited. The documentation varies with each entry, from extensive through to graves that are merely rumoured to exist. The database may include the following information on each grave.

Name
Locality of grave
Biographical notes on the deceased
Death details including date, cause and age
Any other general information including monumental inscription
Photograph [for some of the graves only]
Any extracts from publications
