Thanks to Bob Headland, who has found some correspondence between the Magistrate and Station Manager at Leith from 1919. This includes a map showing who is buried in all eight graves in the older cemetery in the middle of Leith station. At the time the station was located in the river plain to the northwest and the cemetery was on a lone hillside.
Whilst we already have records of the names of the eight men buried there, only three of the graves have remaining markers. This document confirms the graves for the remaining five so we now know all eight.
The third page confirms names for the first few graves in the main cemetery at Leith.
