The 'Sellars Family Private Cemetery' at Rosevale is the former Anglican Cemetery - see attached extracts from The Queensland Times (2 Feb 1892 and 4 March 1926). (My wife is a descendant of Joseph Sellars).
I suspect, but havent yet been able to resolve, that it is also the site of the former St Stephens Anglican Church at Rosevale. In 1890, Mr J Sellars donated half an acre of land and a building for use as an Anglican church; in 1950 the building was relocated to Harrisville for use as a parish hall.
