Kalangadoo Cemetery Kalangadoo South Australia	The Kalangadoo Cemetery Past and Present PAST In 1868 a Mr Ebenezer BONEHAM erected the first church in Kalangadoo on selection 527 Kalangadoo comprising some 80 acres. The church named ‘The Christian Bible Chapel’ was non-denominational, and a cemetery site was established near the Chapel, which became known simply as ‘Boneham’s Chapel’. The site of the cemetery is located in Millicent Road about 300 metres from the railway crossing. In 1885 the Hon. Samuel TOMKINSON gave part of section 527 to the Church of England in South Australia and it contained the Chapel. Services were held at the Chapel by a minister who travelled down from Penola. These meetings were few and far between with the Chapel being used as a school for some years. Failure of settlers to consolidate their holdings forced them to leave the district and the Chapel cum school was subsequently closed because of lack of students. This building fell into disrepair and when the land was sold to a Mrs MORRIS, the Chapel was demolished. The persons recorded as being interred at this location were BONEHAM (Un-named child died 19 June 1862 aged 2 months BONEHAM Emily Rebecca (Josiah) died 11 Dec1867 aged 2 yrs MCDONALD John, Innkeeper Kalangadoo died 9 Apr 1868, 39 yrs BELL Georgina (Ebenezer) died 16 March 1870 aged 1 year ANGUS Rebecca (John) died 23 April 1870 aged 6 weeks KENT Annie (Thomas) died 2 June 1870 aged 3 months BAYLEY John died 1 June 1872 aged 27 years JONES Maria Ann (William) died 20 February 1873 aged 3 weeks PRESENT The present cemetery became an official burial ground in 1892. It is a block of 12 acres, with half an acre fenced off for internments, and the remainder for grazing lease. In September of the same year a notice in the South Australian Government Gazette notified that the Penola Council was to be responsible for the control and maintenance of the grounds. The first burial was in the year 1900 and was that of a Mrs PRIDER wife of Mr J PRIDER. The car park was provided by the Wattle Range Council in the year 2002, with the entrance roadway being fenced off to the exclusion of pastoral lease.
