Eliza met and married Patrick Nean in Ipswich, Queensland, He was listed as being a carrier and was the father of all her children. He died on 16 January 1863. Eliza's second husband, Thomas Gordon, was a butcher in Dalby, Queensland. Interestingly, the deceased's daughter, Eliza, married a fellow named Thomas Rice. Thomas Rice was given a contract in July 1887 to remove the school building from Dulbydilla to Morven, the next town up the railway line - just another connection of the family to Dulbydilla.

Albert Johnston was described as being five feet seven inches with brown hair when he died.  His worldly goods were the clothes he was wearing, some workers’ union tickets and some old blankets.

He died wrapped in his bedding on the floor in the lounge of the old Langlo Crossing Hotel building after spending the previous cold winter’s night sleeping on the verandah of the new hotel.  

It was decided to hold an inquest on 21st June 1914.  The deceased man had been sleeping in the lounge room of the old hotel for about a month prior to his death. He was not being charged for his board and only had to pay for his meals and drink. It had been noticed that he spoke hoarsely and was destitute. Until shortly before he died he did odd jobs around the hotel.

Daniel Lynch, the licensee of the hotel knew the man as Bert but was surprised to be told the man’s name was George Henry
Saisell. The name Saisell was recorded on the Worker’s Union ticket found in the dead man’s possessions. Police Constable Michael Walsh stated at the inquest that he had conversation with the man prior to his death and was told that the deceased’s name was Albert Johnston and that he wished for his name to be recorded on the Federal Roll.
The registration of death was officially recorded under the name of Albert Johnston while the inquest was officially recorded
under the name George Henry Saisell.

Additional research found that George Henry Saisell was a shearer working in the District around the time of Albert Johnston’s death.
Prior to moving to Langlo Crossing, Albert Johnston had been working as a cook for the shearers and is presumed to have stolen the workers union tickets and pocket book with family information from George Henry Saisell at one of the sheds.  George Henry Saisell remained shearing in the district for another year before returning to his family in New South Wales, enlisting in the A.I.F. and serving his country in WW1.  George Henry Saisell came back from the war; married and had a family.  He passed away 21 April 1929, aged 49 years.

This gentleman's burial is listed as being Langlo Crossing, not Langlo Crossing Cemetery.  

This is a “lost" grave.  Thomas Jones committed suicide and it is stated only that he was buried at Langlo Crossing.  The registration of death does not mention the cemetery. As Thomas committed suicide, his exact burial site has not been identified. The witness at the burial was the licensed victualler of the Langlo Crossing Hotel.  There are no markers and there is no ground disturbance indicating the place of this burial.

Thomas Jones’ memorial has been placed in a section of the Langlo Crossing Historical Cemetery in order that he is not forgotten.

Mary Ellen was the 4th of seven children known to be born to Huston and wife Mary Leslie. Mary’s father, Huston, was born in Derry, Ireland, and was a carrier by trade. He married Mary Jane Leslie in Londonderry, Ireland, 13 August 1863. At that time, his occupation was listed as being a weaver. On 9 July 1864, the couple departed from Southampton on the "Castle Eden" but their first child, Rosetta, was born 2 September 1864 during the voyage. The little family arrived in Brisbane 3 November 1864. Their next five children were all born in New South Wales. They were: Emily Dakin born 1868; Elizabeth Ann born 1871; Mary Ellen born 31 January 1875; Huston Robert born 7 February 1878; Mabel Jane born 9 June 1879. The children's mother died in Dubbo on 7 June 1881. Some time between 1881 and 1886, the family moved to Queensland, where little Mary Ellen died. The children's father, Huston, worked as a carrier in Queensland and followed the work with the railway from Dulbydilla to Charleville. He died 3 years after his daughter, on 1 November 1889 from a compound fracture of the leg. He collapsed and is buried in Charleville.

John McKenzie arrived in Australia around 1852. He was the owner of a hotel at Dulbydilla (formerly known as Blacks Waterhole) for many years. John took up the Dulbydilla Run and Blacks Waterhole Hotel in the mid 1870’s. The hotel was also a Cobb and Co coach waystation that was noted for its hospitality as well as serving good food and drink. John donated ten acres of land for the Dulbydilla Cemetery, situated behind his hotel. The story goes that the family built a small home in a nearby town and went out to Dulbydilla to collect him only to find he had passed away. He never left Dulbydilla or his beloved wife Christiana, who had pre-deceased him by some 24 years and is also buried in Dulbydilla. Her story also appears in this website.

Thomas' wife, Mabelle, died in 1871 in Bourke, New South Wales, probably in childbirth as her daughter, Mary Ann, was born the same year. It was after her death that Thomas moved to Queensland.

Thomas Meadows is buried in Dulbydilla.

On 9 September, a newspaper article advised: Dr. Overend left Charleville by motor car yesterday to attend a married man named J. Morrison at Langlo Crossing. Morrison, who was an employee of the Mitchell Rabbit Board, and was suffering from acute pneumonia, died soon after the arrival of the doctor.

Prior to his death, John Morrison had been employed by the Mitchell Rabbit Board for a number of years, laying poison to rid the country of the rabbit plaque.  John Morrison worked from a cart with a partner, usually within a radius of five to seven miles of the rabbit proof fence and during an average day each would lay out up to fourteen pounds of poison to kill rabbits. They also dug pitfall traps in select areas.

In June 1905 the Overseer of the Mitchell Rabbit Board reported that he had burnt one thousand one hundred and eleven rabbit scalps which John Morrison and his partner, Williams, had poisoned or trapped.  The men had been working between the top of the range on
Boothulla, Bierbank and the eastern boundary of South Comongin.

The date of death on the official Death Registration for this young man is 20th December 1914  However, the inquest records that he is thought to have died about 18th December 1914.  He is buried in the Langlo Crossing Historical Cemetery.

The child's father was looking for opportunity as the railway line was being built and subsequently applied for a publican’s license in May 1885 to run a hotel at Dulbydilla called “The Dalbydilla Hotel.” The venture was not a success as in December of that year he was declared an insolvent. The child’s parents were married in Queensland on 7 May 1883 (Marriage Registration 1883/C/1043). Other known children born to this couple were: Thomas Francis born 6 April 1884; Mary Teresa born 30 July 1887; Christopher Walton born 7 April 1889.

It is thought the deceased was 71 years of age when she passed away. This is supported by the entry on her registration of death where it is recorded that she was 18 years of age when she married her first husband in 1866 (calculates to 1848). Her headstone records her age as 67 years.

When Margaret Jane Walker married Henry Coleman at Albury in 1866, their home address was recorded as being at Twelve Mile Creek, Albury, New South Wales.

Henry and his family were living at Bowna, New South Wales, in 1867 and in 1881 the family left the nearby settlement of Dora Dora where Henry had been farming and working as a carrier.  They began their move to Queensland. The registration of birth for their daughter, Melinda, born in 1881, was registered at Hay in South West New South Wales.
In 1887 Henry was successful in a Crown Land Sale, purchasing a two rood block of land in Charleville. He was also granted a
license to cut and remove logs.  Henry and his family moved to Langlo Crossing around 1895 and took over as licensed victualler of the Langlo Crossing Hotel and store from his niece’s husband, Francis Herbertson.  As well as the hotel, Henry and Mary ran the store and also owned and bred livestock.

In June 1901 Henry purchased a store building in Charleville with the initial intention of dismantling the said building, transporting the pieces and building a hotel some eight miles further on from the Langlo Hotel. It was reported that over eight tons of iron was moved.
Circumstances must have changed, as Henry built his new hotel, the Kahmoo Mulga, within a couple of hundred yards of his former hotel, The Langlo. The sale of the Langlo Hotel from Henry Coleman to Andy Atkins, a former Cobb and Co coach driver, was applied for in July 1901.  The newly built Kahmoo Mulga Hotel was open for business in 1903 as official records record for the first time the issue of two Licensed Victualler’s Licenses for Langlo Crossing.

On Wednesday, 8 May 1907, Henry was in his garden when he attacked by one of his boars. He was severely injured and taken to Charleville for medical treatment. He passed away some six days later and was buried in the Charleville Cemetery.
His wife, Margaret, continued to run the Kahmoo Mulga Hotel at Langlo Crossing. She was supported by a number of her children
who lived in the little town. In 1914, Margaret married David Robert Powis, who was some twenty years younger than her and working at her hotel as a barman.  The family did not approve of this union as it was thought that he married her for her money.

By July 1916, Margaret had transferred the licensed victualler’s license to her new husband, David, and the name of the Hotel was
changed from Kahmoo Mulga Hotel to the Royal Hotel.  In early November 1918, Margaret took ill and was admitted to a private hospital in Charleville. After a few days, she was feeling much better and decided to go home. She passed away soon after arriving home.

She was buried the next day at the Langlo Crossing Cemetery and it is hoped she is buried near her son, Leslie.  David, her second husband, continued to run the hotel until mid-1921 when he left the little town.

The child's parents were married on 1 December 1879 (Marriage Registration 1879/C/1006). Their other children were: Emily, born 1880; Arthur Edwin born 1882; Mary Jane born 1886; William James born 1889; George Robert born 1891; Alfred Charles born 1894; Harry born 1896; Walter Herbert born 1901; Cecil Roy born 1902; Ivy May born 1910. John George was the third of these 11 children, one of 8 boys and 3 girls. George Redgwell was born on 12 December 1856 in Essex, England. His wife was born 1860 in Bangor Downs, Ireland, and died in 1942 in Queensland, just a year after the death of her husband. Deceased's father was an outstanding judge of the draught horses which for many years gave him his livelihood and a sturdy sense of independence. In later years, he took up cane growing and did contract ploughing. The advent of the mechanical age failed to weaken his love of horses and it was a familiar sight to see him making his trips to town by horse and buggy. Beaten at times by fortune, George Redgwell Senior was one of those grand pioneering characters never known to acknowledge defeat. He stood high in the regard of the district as a man of unblemished integrity and his many acquaintances, always knew him as ''Honest George."

John George Redgwell is buried in Dulbydilla.

The deceased was the eldest son of this couple. William's brothers were: John born 6 April 1869; Walter born 11 August 1871.

William Galbraith Reid is buried at Dulbydilla.

The child's parents were married 28 September 1884 in Brisbane and began their family of eight children, born between 1885 and 1906. Sadly, they lost their first child but William Herbert was born next on 28 October 1886; followed by Georgina Catherine born 21 December 1888; Maria Daphne born 17 April 1891; Mary Gladys born 19 September 1894; Gwendoline May born 30 May 1897; Thomas Bartlett born 22 February 1900; John Joseph born 27 January 1906. The children's father died in 1918 in Muswellbrook, New South Wales. By 1921, his wife had moved to Petrie Terrace, in Brisbane and was working as a laundress. Ellen died 18 April 1940 in Brisbane.

William Herbert RYAN is buried in Dulbydilla.

Henry Schoder was thought to be around seventy years of age when he died.  He lived in a bark hut about two hundred yards from the Langlo Crossing Hotel near the school.

He had been employed as a shepherd by Andy Atkins, the publican.  Henry had been ill about a month before his death and it was
thought he had recovered.  He was unwell the day prior to his death and members of the community had checked on him. Margaret Atkins, the publican’s wife, had made some bread with milk and rum for him. The school teacher had checked in on him after school and had gone to the hotel to tell them Henry was unwell.  Andy Atkins had gone to check on the old man at midnight and Henry told him he thought he would be okay in the morning.  Andy found Henry deceased early the following morning. He notified the police, ordered a coffin to be made and arranged for Henry’s burial in the Langlo Crossing Cemetery.
