https://www.facebook.com/Minersmemorialgoldfields?hc_location=timeline "A Most Unusual Story" there is a strange story about one of the men who are listed on the Monument, Victor Watts! Some years ago I had a call from a home owner to say that he had just bought an old house in Boulder and while he was digging in the back garden he came across a cemetery headstone. He said he wasn't very keen to have it in his garden and as he knew I was interested in local history he thought I could help. Of course I was intrigued to see it so with some friends we went to see what it was he found. It was indeed a very large marble headstone about 1.5m high and had been placed face down as part of an old path. When we were able to turn it over (not easy as it was incredibly heavy) we saw an inscription as follows in pristine condition: In Memory of Victor Watts Native of Burra SA Accidentally killed on the Perserverance Mine 22nd May 1902 aged 28yrs Late captain of Mines Rovers Football CLUB<https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mines-Rovers-Football-CLUB/208366895849958> Erected by his friends and club mates. A quick check of the cemetery records showed that Victor was buried in the "Pioneer Cemetery' in Boulder which closed in 1904. There was no headstone on his grave. Great effort was made to find any relatives and the football club was also informed but with no luck. I think what probably happened was that the headstone was made (incidentally I was told that the marble used was of very high quality) and as the cemetery was going to be closed the family may have decided to have Victor moved to the new cemetery, which did happen in a few cases, and it just got forgotten about. Victors headstone is now stored safely at the Kalgoorlie Cemetery and their are plans to reinstate it at the Old Boulder Cemetery when current restoration work is done by the Eastern Goldfields Historical Society. I hope that one day Victor will get his headstone after all.
