Biography

The grave of the deceased was originally marked with four forks and four rails and was in line with James Hilder's grave. The cause of death was possibly typhoid fever.
Birth Details:Circa 1870
Death Certificate:Not Registered
Comments:William Barker 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.
