Biography

Deceased was buried in the Lake Darlot cemetery about 28 yards east of the Cue road and about 130 yards west of Hilder's grave (which is at the lower end of Horsemen Gully) in the Leonora district. There are four natural holes near his grave, three at the west and one at the east. The cause of death was possibly typhoid.

Birth Details:circa 1850

Comments:Samuel Carson was originally buried in Horseman’s Gully, an un-gazetted 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.
