This cemetery comprises two parcels of land
located either side of the entrance to Kingston
College. The smaller section is believed to be the
Catholic section. Headstones date between 1896
and 1941. As many local people could not afford headstones, it is
impossible to
know the exact number of burials at the site. A newspaper report has
led to the
identification of one unmarked grave - that of Kuraby resident William
Dellitt
who died in May 1923. Prominent local families including Charles and
Harriet
Kingston, John and Emily Mayes, the Armstrongs, Cordingleys, Laughlins
and
Seeleithers are buried at Kingston Pioneer Cemetery.
Charles and Harriet Kingston originally lived in a slab hut at Tygum
before
taking up land at Scrubby Creek in 1872. His first house 'Oakwood' was
the
receiving office for the mail from 1884 during the construction of the
South
Coast Railway. Once the railway opened in 1885 the station assumed the
name
of Kingston and the mail was received from the railway station. The
second
house the family built at 'Oakwood' remains on site overlooking
Jacaranda
Avenue. Charles Kingston died in 1904 and Harriet died in 1911.
John and Emily Mayes lived to the north of the Kingstons and took up
their
land in 1873. They also lived in a slab hut for many years, and it
remains on
site at Mayes Cottage at 36 Mawarra Street. In late 1888 the family
built a new
home which they called 'Pleasant Place', locally known as Mayes
Cottage. John
Mayes died in 1908 and Emily in 1933.
John and Mabel Cordingley ran the Kingston store and blacksmith,
William
Laughlin was the clerk of the Waterford Shire Council. The Seeleithers
farmed
at Park Ridge, and Bill Seeliether ran one of the
early sawmills in Woodridge.
