Condition
N/A This site was the location of graves for three daughters of Arthur and Annie Gibbs. Arthur Lacey Gibbs and Annie Burton married in Cannington in 1892. They settled in the vicinity of Mason Mill at a farmhouse near the current site and had a daughter Muriel in 1892. In the following three years they had three more daughters who all died shortly after birth: 1893 Daisy aged 2 days, 1894 May aged 2 hours and in 1895 Amelia aged 1 day. The couple had two more daughters in the following two years before Arthur Gibbs died in 1898. Annie left the property with her three young daughters, Violet, Myrtle and Arthurina, to return to her family in Cannington where she took up a position as the postmistress in the town. The location of the graves was marked for many years by two large trees on a slope near the former homestead. These trees have been removed but the site is still known by local residents although there is now no evidence of the graves.
