The 1934 <i>Courier Mail</i> article you refer to above, which contained the statement regarding the <b>"dilapidated and broken up state"</b> of the headstones, claimed the information was gleaned from Official Sources - I can only imagine this would have been the Brisbane City Council. Hopefully the Council will now make funds available to either display these recovered headstones at Toowong Cemetery, or to have them reinstated in the small grounds behind Christ Church at Milton with the other surviving Paddington monuments.Liam Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647251820526640941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214910756174703959.post-54840940810795427182012-05-26T21:09:37.422-07:002012-05-26T21:09:37.422-07:00I have a comment regarding a statement quoted in y...I have a comment regarding a statement quoted in your 2nd last paragraph. The quote was "[I]t was stated yesterday that these stones were in a badly dilapidated and broken up state when received at the cemetery, and that the inscriptions could not be deciphered."<br /><br />National Archaeology Week activities were held at Toowong Cemetery between Thursday, 24th May - Saturday, 26th May 2012. They excavated and recorded some headstones from the Milton/Paddington Cemeteries which were moved to Toowong Cemetery and buried early last century. <br /><br />I was in attendance on the dig and am able to give a first hand account about the state of the headstones excavated that yes they were in broken pieces but that there were more than 100 pieces with decipherable writing on them unearthed in the dig. There was even one whole and undamaged headstone. There were several instances where whole headstones were able to be pieced together from the broken parts.DNA Genealogy hobbyisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02609241024466286383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214910756174703959.post-66033578192713797722012-05-15T04:58:57.142-07:002012-05-15T04:58:57.142-07:00Clearly, ease of subscription, attractive topics &...Clearly, ease of subscription, attractive topics & regular updates are all highly relevant factors for any blog site to consider...although, it also appears that blatantly posting multiple advertising links to your Brisbane removalist business, under various assumed aliases, on a non-related site, is also very important...<br /><br />Luckily, as I believe in promoting local business in Brisbane, I'll allow the above comments/advertising to stand, provided no further aliases crop up to add their 2c worth on blogging etiquette...& you provide me with a hearty discount when next I move house...what do you say??Liam Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647251820526640941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214910756174703959.post-23540261278408577432012-05-14T01:32:43.801-07:002012-05-14T01:32:43.801-07:00Furniture Removal Brisbane
