Hi again Judy,
from "Memories of Oxley", p. 46 -
"The cemetery at Milawa is often known as the Oxley Cemetery. It was
established in 1864, after considerable discussion about a suitable site.
It was expanded in area by approximately two acres towards the west within
the first twelve months - Robert SNOWDON being the first interment
there. The different denominations have their own areas, and all the
graves face the east. The cemetery contains a number of European settlers,
Aboriginals and Chinese, although the burial places of the Aboriginals and
Chinese are not known, many early records having been lost, damaged or
destroyed."
kind regards
Kaye
