cemetery, interesting place
Two marked graves with head and footstones, are those of Elizabeth and Margaret Colverwell, who drowned in the Glen Burn Creek in a tragic accident in December 1837, aged 6 and 5 years respectively. The graves are believed to be the oldest marked graves in the ACT. Three additional family members may also be buried there, including the girls’ parents, Luke and Mary Colverwell and their sister, Eliza (b.1837 d.1857).
