Deceased was employed by the Water Supply Department at Leinster. On Friday 1 February, he asked for a lift to Lawlers and was given a ride on the baker's cart. After five or six miles, the off-side wheel struck a stump and threw Keane out of the vehicle. The driver immediately sat him up and went to fetch help. When he returned, Keane was still alive but died within 10 minutes. A verdict of "accidentally falling from a baker's cart" was returned at the inquest which was held two days later. The deceased is buried in Plot 19, Section A of Lawlers Cemetery.

Deceased spent 22 years in Victoria before moving to Western Australia. James Kelly and James Morrison were overcome by gases, generated by a round of shots in a winze at the Bellevue Mine, Mt Sir Samuel, and died as a result. The men neglected to turn on air after the shots had been fired.

Donald W Irvine, a fellow miner at the New Woman Gold Mine, said that at about noon on 3 January, Kemball complained of not feeling well. Irvine tried to help him but eventually found him dead around 3.30pm that day. Dr. Swindley, medical practitioner at Lawlers, testified that he was called to the mine camp on the afternoon of the 3rd, arriving there about 4 p.m. On examination, he found that life was extinct. He then performed a post mortem examination and found that death was due to heart failure, the result of pre-existing disease of the aortic valves. He noted that there were no marks of violence on the body or anything pointing to foul play. The deceased died intestate, leaving an estate valued at £15 5s 4d. He also owned a one half lease in the New Woman Gold Mine, which was later auctioned. At the time of his death, he had a sister in Scarborough, England. He is buried in Plot 7, Section B, Lawlers Cemetery.

The child is buried in Plot 29, Section B, Church of England section of Lawlers Cemetery.

A few days previously, the deceased entered the Lawlers Government Hospital and died from heart failure the next day. Kitchen apparently had a camp within the area but left it for the hospital. He said he had friends in the 'old' country but apparently he presented as friendless and penniless. The deceased is buried in Plot 38, Section B, Church of England section of Lawlers Cemetery.

Deceased spent 28.5 years in Victoria before moving to Western Australia. He was working in the ' big ' stope at No. 2 level. At 5 o'clock, the men nearby heard a fall of earth. One yelled out to the deceased, " Are you right?" but got no answer. The deceased groaned and men rushed down the rise to the hanging wall side of the fall and started to pull some of the stones away, calling for others to come and help dig out the deceased, who called out "Be quick!" and kept on mumbling for about five minutes after the fall. By that time, several miners had arrived at the scene of the accident but it took about forty minutes to get him out. Everything was done to get him out quickly but he was dead when finally pulled out. There was considerable discussion at the inquest as to whether the ground where the deceased had been working was indeed safe to work on. About 20 tons of earth had fallen. A pig-sty had been put in to support the roof. The stope where the fall occurred was about 10 feet high and 14 feet wide. It appeared to have been safe but may have required timbering. The jury brought in a verdict that William Samuel Lewis came to his death by a fall of earth but in the absence of expert evidence it was impossible to say whether any blame was attachable to the management. It was hoped than an official enquiry would be held with reference to the state of the mine. Lewis' death was registered by his brother, D. Lewis.

Deceased spent 30 years in New South Wales before moving to Western Australia. Mr Lynch died suddenly at his hone, seated in a chair before the fire after bringing in some wood and suddenly collapsed. The deceased had been under medical care some time when the doctor expressed the opinion that he might die suddenly at any time. There were no suspicious circumstances. The deceased was one of the early pioneers of the northern goldfields and was a member of the first survey party which made a traverse from Mount Leonora, to Wiluna in 1893. Mr Aubrey Newman was surveyor to the party, which passed over what is now the Lawlers townsite. The trip was a most successful one and the data obtained has proved beneficial to the Mines Department officers in their work. The late Mr Lynch had resided in Lawlers for many years. He was a member of the local roads board for a lengthy period and was keenly interested in mining and prospecting. He is buried at Section A, Roman Catholic Section at Lawlers Cemetery.

The child is buried in Plot 31, Section B, Church of England section of Lawlers Cemetery.

Also known as Abdullah.

An inquiry held at Lawlers into the death of Abdullah, an Afghan, resulted in the finding that the man was wilfully murdered on the night of April 29 by a bullet by a person or persons unknown. The deceased was found dead in his bed. He had a bullet wound through the head and a wound through the palm of one hand.

At the inquest which was held in May 1919, at Lawlers, Dr Cameron, who conducted a postportem examination several days after the murdered man's death, gave evidence that Abdullah had been shot through the mouth.  The teeth along both jaws were shattered and the jaw bones were broken, while there was a shot wound in the head behind the left ear.  There was dried blood on the left hand through which a bullet had passed.  He did not think the wounds were self-inflicted as there were no marks of singeing on the wounds.  Death had been instantaneous.

Other evidence showed that Abdullah had been very popular in the Lawlers district.  At the time of his death, he was a owner of a large store in Lawlers.  He was of a very quiet disposition and there was nothing to show that he had at any time been implicated in a feud.

Abdullah was a principal driver of the Police camel teams out the back of Kalgoorlie in the 1890s. Inspector Walsh of the C.T.D. recounted many experiences with the deceased who, he stated, was an excellent man with camels, and at a glance could judge whether a camel was going to be useful or otherwise . He was also a good cook and a trustworthy servant.  Abdullah severed his connection with the Police Department in 1897, when he commenced a carrying business, taking provisions on the backs of camels to posts far out in the outback.

The deceased had lived in South Australia for some time before moving to Western Australia.

Some 14 years later, in January of 1934, a 35 year old half caste Indian named Mohammed Bux gave himself up to the Carnarvon Police, confessing that he had murdered an Afghan storekeeper at Lawlers.  Mahommed Bux was in the district at the time of the murder and had been friendly with Abdullah.  He was interviewed by the detectives who were making investigations, but from the story he told it was not considered necessary for him to give evidence at the inquest. He was born at Coolgardie, his father being an Indian and his mother an English woman. He was only 19 years of age at the time and told the police that he suffered with his head, and at times wandered alone in the bush not knowing where he was. He said that he was unable to give the police any indication as to the identity of the murderer.

On 24 February 1934, Bux was charged with the wilful murder of Abdullah in 1919.  In Carnarvon, Bux had made a full statement about the murder but chose not to sign it. In the statement, Bux said he had been motivated to kill Abdullah because at home, his sister, Jane, told her father that Abdullah had raped their sister, Marian.  Apparently his sister had been given to Abdullah as his wife and Bux did not agree with it.

At the trial, where the evidence of many witnesses was given, it was revealed that Bux suffered from periodical attacks of insanity, during which time he would wander off into the bush for days at a time and frequently heard voices in his head.  He denied ever having heard that Abdullah had committed any offence against his sister.  

Inspector General of the Insane, Dr Bentley, confirmed this and the court heard that Bux' mother died in an asylum in 1912 and that his sister was at that time an inmate of one of those institutions.

The jury was only away half an hour when they returned with their verdict of "not guilty".

The murder of Abdul Nazur MAHOMET remains unsolved.

James Mahoney died suddenly. As he was walking through the yard of the Great Eastern Hotel, Lawlers, he was seen to fall. Dr. Olivey was sent for, but could no nothing, as Mahoney had burst a blood vessel and expired in a few minutes. The deceased had been in delicate health for the previous 12 months. A certificate of death was given by the medical officer, rendering an inquest unnecessary. The deceased was buried in Plot 19, Section C, in the 3rd row north.

Deceased spent 20 years in New South Wales. He was the late licensee of the Commercial Hotel at Day Dawn. He committed suicide by shooting himself. The verdict at the inquest was suicide while temporarily insane. Mr Marshall was buried in Plot 10, Section C, in the 2nd row.

Deceased was a brewer for the Lawlers Brewing Company. He was buried in Plot 04, Section C, in the front row.

The deceased was believed to have been about 16 years of age when he ran away to sea with his older brother, Frank. Their mother made home life difficult but somehow their father managed to reach the docks in Liverpool in time to persuade Frank to return home. Charles refused and carried on to Australia. The fatal accident occurred at the Vivien's Gold Mine Company's battery at Malcolm. It appeared that the deceased was repairing some belting in the battery when his clothes were caught in the belting and he was carried round the shafting. His leg came in contact with a pulley-wheel and was nearly torn off. The deceased lost a considerable amount of blood and death was due to loss of blood and the accompanying shock. At the inquest, the finding of the jury was that death was due to an accident, no blame being attachable to anyone. Witnesses to the burial were Denis Fitzgerald and G.W. White. Massey was buried in Plot 02, Section B, north-east corner, Church of England section of the cemetery.
