Biography

The informant of his death was Patrick McNamara, miner, Lake Darlot. A miner who had been at every gold rush in Western Australia and supposedly died of typhoid fever. He was also one of the pioneers of New Guinea, where his party was set on by the natives, the deceased receiving a spear wound in his face, leaving a conspicuous mark which he carried to his grave.

Death Certificate:1167/1895
Comments:Daniel Henderson was originally buried in Horseman’s Gully, an ungazetted cemetery. The mining company which took over the site in 1995, agreed to pay for the exhumation of the eight men buried there, who were then relocated and re-interred at the nearby Darlot Cemetery. The deceased is one of those eight.
