Additional information
Maltzahn family
The Maltzahn family members
buried in Plot 1 consist of two
Mecklenburg born brothers,
Johann and Christian Maltzahn,
their wives and their numerous
descendants. Another brother,
Ludwig, also migrated to Australia
but returned to Germany during
the 1860s.
Christian Caspar Maltzahn (c. 1842 – 1869)
One of the earliest interments here
was that of Christian Maltzahn, who died of hepatitis in 1869, aged 47. Another early
burial was that of Johann and Sophia Maltzahn’s daughter
Alwina, who died in 1870, aged 10. However, like many
of Westgarthtown’s other original German and Wendish settlers, Johann and Sophia Maltzahn survived well into old age, having lived long and very useful lives.
