Alberto Enrico ALBRIENANDT (more)

Cause of Death: Drowned

The deceased died on or about 28 February 1941. Months after he had bene caught in flood waters, 80 miles south west of Ethel Creek Station homestead on the south bank of Ethel Creek, his body was found in the bed of the creek. He was buried by Police Constable Laurence Henry Tully (Regimental No.1528), of Nullagine, and witnessed by Clive Williams. The Mexican, who had been camped in the locality, was known to Nalgoo, an Aboriginal stickman, as "Black Harry" and there was no doubt of his identity. About 200 yards down the creek was the body of a cream-coloured horse, one of two owned by the deceased. In his report, Constable Tully concluded that the Mexican had been caught in the flood waters of one of the creeks when they ran late in February and that death was due to drowning. There did not appear to be any suspicious circumstances. Because of the difficulties of removal, Constable Tully buried the body a short distance from where it was found.

Alexander ALLAN (more)

Cause of Death: Suicide by Gunshot

The informant of the death was George Stone, Police Constable, Niagara. A Coronial inquiry was held at Niagara on 10 April 1897. The tragic suicide of Alexander Allen came just 23 days after the death of his brother, James, from enteritis. Alexander had been working late at Mt Catherine and had apparently slept in the cemetery overnight, as a rug and saddle were found on the ground, arranged as a bed. The death of James had preyed heavily on the mind of Alexander who shot himself on his brother's grave. A revolver was found in both his hands and the wound of a bullet showed near his ear.

Dagenhardt left a wife and seven children in Victoria, and it was reported that Allen left five children, who are now parentless, the mother having died some little time before.

Male ALLANAH (more)

Cause of Death: Unknown

Deceased lived in South Australia for 3 years before moving to Western Australia. In October 1906, Allanah was fined $2, in default of which there would be two months' hard labour, for cruelty to camels by working them and putting saddles on them when they had sore backs. Apparently one camel in particular had sores on its back which were discharging pus, were full of maggots, and a very offensive odour came from them. The sores were about 6 inches across and a man could put the whole of his hand in the openings. He is buried in Plot 47, Section D of the Lawlers Cemetery.

He was buried in the first Cemetery Reserve Number 4387 but his name does not appear on the shire burial registration list. No birth or death dates or registrations have been identified.

Robert Hamilton ALLEN (more)

Cause of Death: Self-inflicted or Accidental gunshot wound

Allen was found dead with the top of his head shot off and a shotgun on the ground in front of him. Mary Winifred Allen, wife of the deceased, said that on her application, her husband was placed on the prohibited drinkers' list. In conversation with her the next day he said that unless he could obtain beer, he would be an angel by the evening. She did not treat his remarks seriously and replied banteringIy to them, but shortly afterwards she was alarmed by the sound of a shot and, running into the yard, she found her husband with part of his head shot off and a shotgun lying nearby. She thought that it was quite likely that her husband intended merely to alarm her and arouse her anxiety and sympathy for him by firing the gun. Corroborative evidence was given by Allen's daughter, Elsie Irene Allen.

The verdict of the coronial enquiry was: "That deceased came by his death at Sandstone on April 4, by gun shot wound, but there was not sufficient evidence to say whether the wound was self-inflicted or caused accidentally." Robert is buried in the Presbyterian portion of the cemetery, plot number 19. The deceased's brother, Samuel William, died in Sandstone in 1944 and is also buried in the Sandstone cemetery.

Magnet Road Board and later of the Black Range Road Board, of which he was chairman at the time of his recent illness. He was also interested in various sporting bodies in both districts, particularly the Mt Magnet Racing Club and the Sandstone Sports Club. The chief mourners at his funeral were his sons, R. D.
