EUROA CEMETERY

This page is set up by a member of the Historical Society.

There is lots of history in EUROA CEMETERY.
The first known burials took place here in the cemetery in 1857. There is one earlier known burial but he was not buried in the actual cemetery, but close by. He was Thomas Dobbin who died about 1854. In 1879 his remains were exhumed and reinterred into the cemetery proper. The first headstone still stands in excellent condition, it belonging to David Black, a local blacksmith.
Today in 2003, there are nearly 5000 burials.

It is a labour of love looking after the cemetery, and we are lucky to have a man who just does that - LABOURS & LOVES IT - Thanks Max Burnside.
New to the cemetery is the childrens' memorial as seen below, small plaques can be purchased and placed there. Contact the CEMETERY SECRETARY for more details, Linda 03 5795 2335.

The Childrens' Memorial.

The grave locations of many infants have been lost over the years. You are now able to buy a small plaque to memorialise these children and have it placed in this special spot. Contact the Trust Secretary on 5795 2335 for more details.

A general view of Presbyterian B section.

Centre front, with the brick kerb is one of the Wakenshaw graves. On the left at rear, the white marble headstone is the Dunning grave. You can see Josiah & his brother William Noad's grave with the high iron fence. Josiah died in 1857. He was the first government paid school teacher at Euroa. His fence has recently been set on concrete footings as it had sunk about 30cm. The white marble headstone with fence in the centre is the Lamberton grave. On the right, this white marble headstone with fence belongs to Mary Tovey and just behind her you can see the two grey headstones of the McPhees of Gooram.

A view across the Latter Day Saints section to the Roman Catholic sections.

A small section was set aside about 1940 for the Latter Day Saints and Salvation Army denominations.

The path and denomination signs.

This photo is actually looking towards the Catholic A section. Wesleyan A is in the foreground, not in the photo.
