Michael SMITH Brushy Creek

Good on you Cando - you found where Michael was buried, as suspected Lilydale.

Thank you Logan however I think we all assumed it would be Lilydale.
The database is not user friendly and naturally thought the Lawn Cemetery would be a  much newer cemetery than the Lilydale Memorial Gardens.  Once again one should never assume.  Phone call was well worth the time and I did make a suggestion to the Trust about the date of burial or date of death being on their database.

I also wondered about the establishment of the cemetery as the Lilydale Shire was not formed until 1872 being part of the Upper Yarra Board till then.  Really can't be fussed about searching the gazettes for the date of establishment of the cemetery....can be time consuming.

Cheers

On the PROV will site is mention of the Michael SMITH who died in 1903.  He was a butcher, lived in Lilydale.  Unfortunately the actual papers have not been digitised.

The Argus Friday 3rd Jan 1902
A painful accident happened to Mr. Michael Smith, who carries on a butchering business in Lilydale. He was hanging up a sheep on the hooks in the shop, when his hand caught in the hook, causing a nasty gash, which necessitated a number of stitches being inserted by Dr. O. F Gmelin, of Lilydale.
