Good Morning; As I was reading old cemetery files last week, I ran across one for Ulina/Ullina Private Burial Ground. Both spellings were in the old file. The file noted that the burials were in a private burial ground on the Ulina Pre-emptive Right of 320 acres in Portion A and B, Parish of Chiltern West, County of Bogong. The address noted in the file was for Chiltern Valley, via Chiltern for William Withers who had written to the government of the day. Most of the file dealt with a request in May, 1909 by William Withers, for permission of the Public Health Department in Melbourne to bury his mother upon her death, in the private burial ground on the property with her husband in his grave. With the information in the file was a map showing the location of the burial ground, plus of the burial ground itself of about 29 perches, noting the location of the graves and the names of most the 26 burials in the burial ground up to 1909. William Withers noted that the burial ground was used by the family and others. He could not identify 7 burials noted for grave 2, graves 4 to 7 and graves 11 and 12. Most of the burials noted were for the Withers family members (13 graves) but others listed were for: children of George Chandler, Mrs Chandler, Mrs Munro, M.M. and M.E. Maynard and Mabel Pleming. No dates were supplied for the burials, just the names. The burial ground was located near Black Dog Creek. In his last letter to the Minister of Lands William Withers noted his mother had lived there since 1843. Just thought List Members might be interested in the brief notes on the old burial ground. These old burial grounds keep turning up all the time as I research the cemeteries/burial grounds in an area. I would be interested in knowing if the burial ground still exists, or any other information anyone might have on it.
