Broken
The first
House Children’s Home. The cemetery was the first in
Broken Hill c1886 until 1889 when the current cemetery in
The larger cemetery may well have been a necessity due
to the typhoid epidemic of 1888 which claimed some 123 lives during that
year. It is
uncertain how many headstones were erected in the old
cemetery.
This list was supplied to me
some years ago. I do not know if this is the total number of persons that were
interred there or to the correctness
of the information supplied
below.
There were some obvious
errors in a few of the surnames. Some I have edited and others were
cross-checked to the NSW death
indexes and the variation noted. .
