Molteno Notes
(From our Own Correspondent.)
Molteno, December 29th,
The late Mr. George LOCKHART.
It is a matter of wide-spread regret to have to record the tragic death of Mr. George LOCKHART, who for the past two years was acted as Location Inspector.    The deceased was taken suddenly ill about a fortnight ago and it was discovered that he was suffering from a severe attack of ptomaine poisoning and died on Wednesday evening, December 26th.  The funeral took place yesterday and the Rev. A ROGERS, the Rector of St. Cuthbert’s, officiated both at the Church and grave-side.  The chief mourners were the widow and Mr. A. LOCKHART, and elder brother of the deceased...
The deceased was an ex-Sergeant of Police, having served about 30 years in the Force.  He was well known and highly respected in the Jansenville and Cradock districts where many years of his life were spent and where  doubtless he will long be remembered for his sterling qualities.  Mr. LOCKHART was appointed to the post of Location Inspector on the recommendation of the Resident Magistrate, Mr. R.H. CHENOWETH, who had known him some years ago at Jansenville, and it is generally acknowledged that the appointment was an excellent one.  Mr. LOCKHART was a gifted linguist and in addition to English and Dutch he was thoroughly conversant with native languages and customs.  He was a man with a strong personality and a keen sense of justice which enabled him to command both obedience and respect from the native and withal sincere appreciation from his employers.   Much sympathy is felt for the family in their sad bereavement.

Dordrecht Notes
Everyone was shocked to hear of the sudden and tragic death of little Jackie HOOLE, eldest son of Mr. And Mrs. W. HOOLE of the National Bank.  Jackie met with an accident, cutting his foot badly some ten days ago, and was taken very ill on Christmas Day and succumbed after much suffering on the Saturday following, death being due to tetanus.  He was laid to rest on Saturday afternoon, the first part of the service being held in St. Augustine’s Church conducted by the Rev. S.D. TURNER.  Although only seven year of age Jackie was a general favourite, and the sympathy of all is expressed with the bereaved parents, grandparents and other relatives.

Congratulations to Mr. S. MARKS of MARKS & Co. On his engagement to Miss Sophie GOLDBERG of Capetown.  Miss GOLDBERG is the younger daughter of Mr. And Mrs. S. GOLDBERG (Goldie & Co.) and niece of Mr. And Mrs. H. LICHTENSTEIN.

His Son a Girl
An East Rand father was astounded to find that his son Maurice was, according to Government records ,a girl named Maria.  This was the experience of a Benoni resident.  The birth of his son, Maurice Joey, had been registered in 1912.  The father recently applied for a birth certificate, which he found, to his surprise, was made out in the name of “Maria Joey.”  He also discovered that his daughter Freda had been registered as “BREDE.”  An application has now been made for the birth certificate to be rectified.

Obituary
The many friends in Queenstown of the late Mr. Walter HICKMAN were shocked to hear of his sudden death at East London last night, and sympathy goes out to his widow and two sons.  A native of Yorkshire, the late Mr. HICKMAN became proficient at the barber’s profession there and came out to South Africa some twenty-one years ago, eventually starting a business in Queenstown.  After twelve successful years here, however, he found that his prospects could be bettered in East London and left for there about a year ago, and had become a successful and popular member of his profession there when his death occurred.

Sterkstroom Notes
Obituary
It is with regret I record the death of a very estimable lady, Mrs. Viola Louisa May MAKIN, wife of our esteemed townsman, Mr. A. MAKIN, at the age of 44 years, which sad event occurred on Friday, 25th January, at the hospital, Grahamstown.  Of a quiet and unassuming nature, she endeared herself to all who had the privilege of her acquaintance, and was ever ready to assist in all the good work of the town, whether as a Church worker, in which she was a devoted adherent of our Wesleyan Church or in social or charitable works.  She died after a holiday visit to Port Elizabeth.  On the return journey, when nearing Grahamstown, she was taken suddenly ill and had to seek medical assistance, which necessitated her removal to hospital, Brocho-pneumonia developed and she breathed her last, the evening before her son John, daughter Mary, and their aunt, who were hastily summoned, could arrive in time.  It has been a great shock to her numerous friends throughout the district, who held her in high esteem.  In accordance with her last wish her remains were laid to rest on Sunday afternoon in the Queenstown Cemetery.

We regret to hear of another sad drowning fatality at Kokstad whereby an old Dordrecht girl, Miss M. LABUSCHAGNE, has lost her life.  We understand that she had gone to bathe in the river with the children of Mr. F. CATHERINE, to whom she had just commenced duties as governess, and got into difficulties as soon as she entered the water.  Help was soon secured, but when the body was brought out life was found to be extinct.  The body was brought to Indwe and buried on her father’s farm, amid a large gathering of friends and relatives.  The sympathy of all is extended to her parents and relatives and also to Mr. And Mrs. F. CATHERINE.

Molteno Notes
Molteno, February 6th,
Sudden Death of Popular Stormberg Farmer.
The tragic news of the sudden death of Mr. Casper VAN ZYL of the farm Hoedklip reached town early on Monday morning, February 4th.  The family had spent about three weeks on holiday at Aliwal North and it is understood that the packing had been done preparatory for leaving on the homeward journey the following morning.  Apparently the deceased was not feeling well as he had consulted a doctor.  There seemed, however, no immediate danger, consequently no one was unduly concerned and everything went on as usual during the day.  Before bed time Mr. VAN ZYL went out for a short walk alone but did not return.  Sometime afterwards it was discovered that he had collapsed and died within a few yards of the door.  It appears that the cause of death was due to a heart affection which culminated in paralysis in the cardiac region.  Mr. Johannes VAN ZYL, a brother, and Mr. W.M. PRINGLE, a close friend of the deceased, journeyed to Aliwal North on Monday and arranged for the body to be conveyed to the farm for burial.
The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at Hoedklip private burial ground.  The Reverend J.F. BOTHA the resident Minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, Molteno, conducting the service both at the far and the grave-side...

Obituary
The death is announced of Mr. Seymor HARDING, who, twenty years ago, farmed Clifton Vale in the Bongolo.  Many townspeople will recall the lawsuit Mr. HARDING had with the Town Council over his water rights, a case which cost the town about £1,500.  Mr. HARDING died at Rustenberg last Thursday, and was buried on Friday afternoon.  The “Star” correspondent says:  Mr. HARDING was well known in mining circles, both locally and on the Rand, and his loss will be keenly felt.  He came to this district 18 years ago, from Queenstown, Cape Colony, at the request of Mr. Same CHUDLEIGH, of Johannesburg, who wished him to investigate what looked like a good diamond proposition in the Pilansberg district.  While trekking to the appointed place Mr. HARDING was greatly struck by the remarkable outcrops of rock on Vlakfontein.  He decided to investigate them thoroughly and on preliminary shaft sinking he discovered nickel in large quantities.  He immediately abandoned all thought of going further and acquired the property on which the outcrops occurred.  He then gave all his energy to the furtherance of what has since become one of the well-knwon mined of the district, and, indeed, the only nickel mine in South Africa – known as South African Minerals, Ltd. Vlakfontein.

The sad and unexpected news was received in town to-day, of the death of Mr. W. Bertram COLLINGWOOD, who passed away at Grahamstown this morning after a short illness.  For some days Mr. COLLINGWOOD had complained of a severe headache, but nothing of a serious nature was thought of till Wednesday when Mrs. COLLINGWOOD on entering his room found him unconscious.  Everything possible was done for the patient, but, we understand, he never regained consciousness.  Mr. COLLINGWOOD came to South Africa about twenty years ago, his first appointments being in Queenstown as music master at Queenswood School and organist at Wesley Church.  During the years he spent in Queenstown he married Miss Ethel, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Stephen MORUM, while during the same period his parents, brother and two sisters came to reside in Queenstown.  Of the family only one remains to-day (Miss Edith – now Mrs. FORSTER).  It is expected that the funeral will take place in Queenstown, but more definite information will be given later.  The greatest sympathy of all will be extended to Mrs. COLLINGWOOD in her sudden bereavement.

A Fatal Accident
A two-year-old girl, names Patrima ABRAHAMS, was fatally injured in a remarkable bus accident at Woodstock, Capetown, on Wednesday night.  The girl and her aunt were travelling in the bus when a car collided with it at right angles and capsized it.  The few passengers escaped, but the child could not be found, so the searchers lit matches to look for it.  One man carless dropped a burning match on the bus and it caught fire and was burnt before the child was discovered inside it.  She died from her burns the following morning.
