"He died at St Helen's Private Hospital in 1903 while still in office. The funeral was held at St John's Cathedral, for which the Supreme Court adjourned as a mark of respect. He was buried at Toowong Cemetery."

Placed at Toowong (#156) because the tree has no Toowong Cemetery row; the same convention is already used for the burial of Maurice Charles O'Connell (#50107).

For William Bligh Henry O'Connell (1852–1903)

"William Bligh Henry O'Connell (26 January 1852 - 4 March 1903) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly from 1888 to 1903, representing the electorate of Musgrave." ... "went to work as an aide to his uncle, Administrator of the Government Maurice Charles O'Connell"

Wikipedia gives the full name exactly as the tree holds it. The uncle statement is the family discriminator: the tree independently records Maurice Charles O'Connell (#50107, 1812-1879) and this man's father William Bligh O'Connell (#50108, 1814-1858) as brothers, sons of Sir Maurice Charles Philip O'Connell and Mary Bligh.
