| History of Whitsunday Cemetery
|  |
| | | Produced by the Genealogical Society
The Proserpine Cemetery commenced being used in the late 1880's and was placed under the control of the Proserpine Shire Council in the early 1900's. Prior to this, there were many burials in isolated locations, and we have attempted to detail all of these. Regrettably, it will always be the case that some of these "lone graves" will never be located, but to at least acknowledge that they did exist is most important. |  |
In the early days of burials within Proserpine Cemetery, there was practically no order used in burials apart from the segregation of the Catholics and Protestants. The weather apparently dictated the location of many burials. If the burial occurred during the "wet" season, they took place in the northern section of the cemetery, while during the dry season; they were able to be carried out in the southern area.
Originally the cemetery only contained two major sections. There was the Catholic Section (now detailed on maps known as Sections C-1 to C-8 inclusive), and the Protestant Section (now detailed on maps know as Sections OP-1 to OP-11) inclusive.
For a long time, babies went wherever there was a space, and admittedly they didn't take much space, so were often squeezed in between other graves. Later certain sections were allocated for baby burials. It is quite notable that within the list of "Missing Graves" the incidence of children and babies is quite significant.
Regrettably, in the early days there was evidence of colour and racial prejudice when people of certain minority groups were buried "against the fence". The fence referred to here was that which used to be erected on the western side of the old Protestant side.
Unfortunately, this fence was removed when an extension of the cemetery area proved necessary and a road was constructed. This road services the New Protestant area (now detailed on maps known as Sections NP-1 to NP-9 inclusive). It is almost certain that there are graves under this road.
In the days when suicides were looked on as shameful, there was pressure for such burials to be made “outside of the gates” and there is strong evidence to suggest that at least one such burial occurred. Certainly, in the list of “Missing Graves” there are several suicides. However, despite lengthy research, it has been impossible to determine which one of these people were buried outside the cemetery, and indeed where the actual burial took place.
Naturally, there were (and still are) requests for certain members of families to be buried together and consequently, we have people buried in plots reserved for them beside their loved ones, or, as is often the case, actually buried in the same grave.
For some time, the cemetery operated on a “when necessary” basis only. In an area where in rained regularly, budget allocations by Council, did not permit the required regular maintenance that was necessary for the cemetery to maintain an orderly operation.
When Ken MacPherson took over as Parks and Gardens Curator for the Proserpine Shire Council, he understood only too well the importance of having the cemetery and subsequent burials conducted in an orderly fashion which would prohibit “loss” of graves. He made his “office” at the cemetery, from where he directed the men under his control, while he spent hours of his working (and own) time, trying to map the cemetery.
His knowledge of local history assisted him greatly with this task.
Ken’s retirement from the Council saw the project incomplete. When we commenced our “task” late in 1985, the Council made the map available to us. We carefully sectioned off the map and made tracings of it, then went to the cemetery and painstakingly checked it. There were some mistakes which were easily corrected, but the benefit of Ken’s work was really appreciated, when on too many occasions, the markers for the grave were found lying loose on other headstones.

| Cemetery Explanations
| |
| | | | Grave | The number indication is that given to the burial. In some instances, the same grave has several numbers, due to second and third internments being given different numbers, but the same plot was used.The practise of giving different numbers has ceased. | | Numbers beside grave numbers | When this occurs, it gives an indication of which burial took place first when there is more than one burial | | b. | This symbol appears under the age section of the Index and indicates that the person buried was a baby under 12 months of age. | | c. | This symbol appears under the age section of the Index and indicates that the person buried was over 12 months of age and under 16 years. | | Surname | The surname is as given in the register. In the early stages of the cemetery, there were two registers and if the information was different in the two registers, this is indicated in brackets. Similarly, if there is a major difference between the name recorded in the Burial Register and that which is shown on the head-stone, it has also been recorded in brackets. | | Forenames | There are many instances where the forenames have not been included in the Burial Register but are revealed on the headstones. Similarly, there are some different names recorded in the Burial Register as against the head-stone in some instances. In these cases, we have recorded the register name first and the headstone name in brackets. | | Date of Burial | This is the date of burial as indicated by the Burial Register. In the very earl days of the cemetery, this was often the same day as the date of death. Where no known date of burial is available and we have been able to determine date of death, then this has been recorded with “d.d” beside it, indicating date of death. In some instances, there has been no date at all recorded and we have had to rely on the burials before and after to give an indication of when the burial took place. | | Section | This is the section of the cemetery, as mapped. Where no section appears in this column, then we were unable to locate the grave. | | Religion | Because of space available in this index, it was necessary in some instances, to abbreviate the name of religions. These are detailed below: | | C of E | Church of England | | R.C. | Roman Catholic | | Pres. | Presbyterian | | Metho. | Methodist | | Jehovah | Jehovah’s Witnesses | | Ass/God | Assemblies of God | | C/delph | Christadelphian | | S/Army | Salvation Army | | 7th/Advent | Seventh Day Adventist | | Followers/Chr | Followers of Christ | | Evange | Evangelist | | Age | When the age was given in the Burial Register, this will show. Where no age was shown, but details provided were able to indicate whether the person was an adult, child, or baby, then this was indicated. | | a. | adult | | c. | child | | b. | baby | | (NIR) | There are a number of burials, which were not recorded in the Burial Register. Headstones bearing details have been erected. In these instances, the details contained in the Index are in accordance with those supplied by the headstones. In a couple of instances, there are no headstones erected on the grave, but details were gained from the grave-digger’s book. This was the personal book of Mr Norman Walker which was kindly given to us for our assistance by his widow. | | No entry | In several instances there are markers cemented in the ground which have no corresponding details recorded for them in the Burial Registers. These are, in the main, very early burials, and it is impossible to determine whose graves they are. | | 280/117 | In the case of these two burials, it was difficult to determine which name was the forename and which was the surname, so they have been included as both. | | Cenotaph | The details from the Proserpine Cenotaph have been included because in accordance with the provisions of “The Registration of deaths on War Service Act 1942”, death certificates would be issued in Queensland for all of those listed as having died during the wars.

| Lone Burials
| |
| | | The following burials are believed to be those burials within the Proserpine Shire, prior to recognised cemeteries being used. In some instances, there are suggestions that some of those listed are indeed buried in what is now known as the Proserpine Cemetery.
The Proserpine Genealogical society intend, over a number of years, to try and locate and identify all lone graves within the Shire. Because we are unsure that the surnames listed are accurate, the burials have been listed in Chronological order only. Table of Lone Graves

Back to top Missing Graves Regrettably there are a number of graves where burials have taken place, which we were unable to locate. These have been detailed on a separate list.
Because different burial numbers were used for some second and third interments, it was possible that some of these burials already have their graves located with other interments.
Many hours were spent trying to locate the missing markers. At one time, we used metal detectors to determine if any markers had been covered by soil and were just below the surface.
It was very disappointing that these graves had been lost. It is hoped that by the work we have now done, that it will not happen in the future.
Perhaps by the publication of this list, there are some relatives of those listed, still living in the area, who might be able to enlighten us as to where the graves are so that they might be recorded properly.
Back to top The following burials are believed to be those burials within the Proserpine Shire, prior to recognised cemeteries being used. In some instances, there are suggestions that some of those listed are indeed buried in what is now known as the Proserpine Cemetery.

Back to top Missing Graves Regrettably there are a number of graves where burials have taken place, which we were unable to locate. These have been detailed on a separate list.
Because different burial numbers were used for some second and third interments, it was possible that some of these burials already have their graves located with other interments.
Many hours were spent trying to locate the missing markers. At one time, we used metal detectors to determine if any markers had been covered by soil and were just below the surface.
It was very disappointing that these graves had been lost. It is hoped that by the work we have now done, that it will not happen in the future.
Perhaps by the publication of this list, there are some relatives of those listed, still living in the area, who might be able to enlighten us as to where the graves are so that they might be recorded properly.
