Instead I think I went off to try to find this Sturzaker fellow. I found an Ian who was married to a Joan but could not confirm dates for some reason. However, I was not keen on that Sturzaker because he was a banker from Toorak on one of the Electoral Rolls.<br /><br />I really like the look of this grave marker. I do worry about white ants though, but also about the arsenic if it were made from treated pine. Oh the worries of modern society.<br /><br />Another wonderful post, Gemma. How do you do it, and with such a limited number of cemeteries from which to choose.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-29335966723885961242012-03-22T12:55:21.721+11:002012-03-22T12:55:21.721+11:00I guess like the pharoah who was buried with his a...I guess like the pharoah who was buried with his armies, taking ones boat along for eternity would be quite nice!!Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-15099114541453283172012-03-22T09:29:56.682+11:002012-03-22T09:29:56.682+11:00What a thoughtful and appropriate marker for a kee...What a thoughtful and appropriate marker for a keen sailor. I have seen local graves (Yorkshire & Lancashire UK) with the surname Steresaker and Styrsacre which may have evolved into Surzaker. Great picture looking over the pier towards the rest of the cemetery.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093410113028503578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-34343682750129605082012-03-21T16:05:43.784+11:002012-03-21T16:05:43.784+11:00watching the Oz Greatest loser, today, they are sa...watching the Oz Greatest loser, today, they are sailing .Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-15593050233748278642012-03-21T10:14:06.099+11:002012-03-21T10:14:06.099+11:00Fascinating!

Still that gravemarker is wonderful and really does tell us something about the gentleman.
