Add my storyBiography contributed by Claude McKelvey
Edward Loder was working on the 'rabbit fence' near Inglewood on 21 Jan 1902 not long after returning from the Boer War. He was cutting down a tree which accidently fell on him killing him instantly. His year of birth was around 1865-66 based on his age at time of death noted on his gravestone as 36 years. Qld BDM record of registration of his death (1902/C/1214) indicates no details were provided for his parents names.
