Willy, infant son of James Goodman was the first burial in the Port Phillip district on 13th May 1836 in Burial Hill, later known as Flagstaff Hill.

There were about 6 burials at this site before the City authorities declared the site too small.  in 1871, the Pioneers memorial was erected close to the site of these early burials.
