The following is from an email sent to me from Dale at the Blackall Visitors Information Center:

     Hi Kerry  I have confirmed that both John Trindle and Mary Grace

Trindle are buried in the Church of England section of the Blackall

cemetery. Mary died aged 79 on 15.2.21. When I get back to Blackall I will

attempt to locate their graves and photograph them. I say attempt because

this part of the cemetery has fallen into a sorry state and identification

of some graves is very difficult if not impossible. However if there is

Headstones (many of the old graves did not have headstones) then we have a

fair chance of finding them. John (grave no 931) died of senility aged 81

and Mary died of carcinoma. Will contact you when I have further

information. Regards Dale.

Definition of Senility:

• Old age.

• The mental and physical deterioration associated with aging. We call this today, Alzheimer/Dementia
