Additional information
Johann Carl Graff (c. 1829 – 1852)
Johann Graff was digging for gold on the Loddon River near Castlemaine in 1852 when he was killed by a falling tree. He was sleeping in his tent when the tree, set alight by a campfire, fell on him during the night. Although almost certainly buried at Castlemaine, his name appears on the Graff headstone, which at present lies in several pieces.
Emma Marie Graff (c. 1872 – 1875) and Wilhelm Heinrich Graff (1873 – 1875)
These were two young children of Johann and Auguste Graff (née Roy). These children died at Westgarthtown of diphtheria within three months of each other.
Anna Louise Graff (1889 – 1890)
One of Johann and Salome Graff's (née Metzenthin) children. She also died of diphtheria, aged 15 months.
