Someone named John Warren posted this on Ancestry:

Leader, Orange (NSW) 20/7/1904

I haven't managed to find it on Trove - so far!

The Coroner's Inquest Register entry is also on Ancestry, as already posted in 2012, and also the Death Index entry.

But nothing about her burial.

Of course, she may have been cremated, and not buried at all.

This article states that she was buried and explains the circumstances of her death. Poor girl, very distressing for all concerned.

St James Church, Rawsonville doesn't seem to exist any longer, per a Google search.

It was still there in 1911, as there's a 1911 newspaper report of a wedding there, on Trove.

There is a cemetery in Rawsonville, but no info about it apart from its address.
