We've also come across many people being seriously injured or killed from accidents involving horses, guns, machinery or equipment. Another big factor was the time it took to travel for medical help. That's a shame your great grandfather's exact plot wasn't recorded - but at least you know the cemetery.Andrew Bowman-Brighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956365481019827939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949001350385496094.post-59008089372647505802013-02-12T21:52:39.007+08:002013-02-12T21:52:39.007+08:00I found these stories about the deaths in Moora fa...I found these stories about the deaths in Moora fascinating. I have just been transcribing an oral history of an early and long time Moora resident and was surprised at the number of people that were mentioned that died there from accidents. One was from a car tyre being pumped up and coming off its rim it hit the man in the forehead and killed him. There were also mentions of drownings and people being kicked by horses and killed. I do know that my great-great-grandfather who died in Moora on 29th March 1915 is in one of only two graves whose remains are unidentified. Of course we do not know which grave was his as there is no longer anyone alive to tell us. Thanks again for your interesting blog.
