Some Notable Pioneers.
THE site of the European Cemetery at Inabui, Mioko, Duke of York Islands, has been transferred to the Administration from the Custodian of Expropriated Property, and the maintenance of the cemetery will in future be under the control of the District Officer, New Britain District.
The cemetery contains the graves of some notable pioneers of the Territory.
There has been erected on one a marble inlaid headstone, with the lettering still intact, in memory of Christopher George Levison, master of the barque “Etienne,” then owned by Messrs. God defroy and Son of Samoa. This man was a pioneer in the late 70's, and his name appears on many of the docu ments of the original German files.
Levison was killed on Waira, Duke of York Islands, in 1879.
Kleinschmidt, a German-American naturalist, whose name also appears on various German documents, is buried there. He was murdered by the natives of Utuan Island, Duke of York Islands, in the early 80’s.
It is understood that Englehardt, of Kabakon, another well known char acter, is buried on Inabui, and the cemetery also contains the remains of the Accountant of the Mioko Trading Company and other Europeans.
