Oberon Old Methodist Cemetery
Address: Duckmaloi Road, Oberon 2787 NSW
On an elevated sloping site with an attractive view over the surrounding countryside, the stones in this historic burial ground date back to 1859 and bear the names of many of the Oberon district pioneers. The site is still in use as a Uniting Church cemetery with one burial as recently as 2004. Maintained by the same gentleman who cares for the Mutton Falls Cemetery, the grounds are in excellent condition and are a credit to his meticulous care. There is no sign of vandalism and the graves are free of broken glass.
Jean and I visited the cemetery on 4 February 2005 and made digital images and notes of every visible inscription. In compiling this list, we also consulted the NSW index of births, deaths and marriages to help determine some names and dates and for additional information. Images of the inscriptions may be viewed and downloaded from the list of all inscriptions for this cemetery.
