Baby Clement was born at sea, aboard the sailing ship "Saldhana" in Moreton Bay, and became the first occupant of this little hillside cemetery at the tender age of 11 months.
As his father read his burial service, the rain began to fall, and the drought was broken.
The tombstone placed over his grave also bears the names of other infant children lost to Arthur and Angela, originally listed as
Arthur Clement 1863
Angela Mary 1865
Robert George 1866
Dorothea 1877
