FORT BEAUFORT

Our warm good wishes to Desire and Raymond SEYMOUR on the birth of their lovely little daughter, Wendy Lee, on 1 July in the Fort Beaufort hospital. Proud grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Nev BEZUIDENOUT and Mr. and Mrs. Tom SEYMOUR, all of Fort Beaufort.

We congratulate John and Desire SWEENEY on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary, which they recently celebrated. The SWEENEYs were married in the Fort Beaufort Presbyterian Church, but later moved to Zimbabwe, where they lived for a long while in Harare (then Salisbury) before returning to Fort Beaufort.

Another well known Fort Beaufort district couple, who have recently celebrated a wedding anniversary are Neil and Enid WEBBER, who lived for many years in the Alice and Balfour areas, before moving to their present home on Oakdene Farm in the Kat Valley. The WEBBER’s daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and John ROBINSON, and their little son, Kerian, are new arrivals in town. John recently accepted a position at Fort Hare University, in the Faculty of Law and we wish them a long and happy stay in Fort Beaufort. There’s a happy family get-together on Oakdene at present, because as well as the ROBINSONs, who will be staying with their parents until they move into a house in Fort Beaufort later this month, the WEBBERs also have son Sean, home on varsity vacation from Stellenbosch, and another daughter, Michelle (Micky), who is on holiday from Cape Town, where she is a personnel manager at a major store.

On Monday 7 July, Mrs Irene POOL and other friends organized a surprise party to celebrate Mrs. Gay BISHOP’s birthday. The happy occasion was attended by many of Gay’s friends, including her ex colleagues from the Standard Bank.

IN MEMORY OF ANDREW CHRISTAN TRUTER
KOMMADAGGA
The journey of life is studded with people with whom you come into contact who just seem to be head and shoulders above the rest. Through no intent of their own, they leave an indelible print on your mind. Such an illustrious personality was Andrew Christian TRUTER. His whole personality seemed galvanized with virtues first becoming extinct in our own time. A man’s man he was; he loved physical labour and exercise; each stride seemed to be taken with determination and purpose.
Within his strong athletic frame – was a heart that seemed too big for his chest. He loved his fellow citizens with an intensity which endeared him to people, both young and old. Children were always drawn to him and imaginative stories of Tom Thumb trekking from the Hot Karroo to the sea for his annual holiday, will never be forgotten by his grandchildren. His keen sense of humour endeared him to all whom he met. No matter how rushed or busy he was, he always had time to stop along the road and chat to a friend or neighbor. His love for his community stimulated his interest in its people. His stories and reports of events in the neighbourhood, often pertaining to people long departed, were legion. He grew up in near poverty on the Zuurberg and his knowledge of that area made him a pioneer of proper soil management there. His love of the soil and nature made him a natural choice for Chairman of Somerset East Soil Conservation committee. In the capacity his standards were high and he occasionally rapped a few farmers over the knuckles. This was never done out of malice, but from the strong conviction that the whole was more important than the individual. The soil had to be protected and preserved as all of us are only temporary tenants on the farms we call our own. Although he did acquire worldly possessions, he could not be accused of being aloof. Wealth and status were concepts and titles he found irrelevant. He never forgot his humble beginnings and many a person, white and black, will testify to his compassion and help in times of financial crisis. Andrew TRUTER was never fanatical about anything including his religion. He never needed a town crier to proclaim, his faith, those with a whom he came into contact experienced his Christiaan convictions and sincerity. He always delighted in other people’s achievements and expressed compassion for their failures. Those of us who were privileged to know him, will miss him, especially because he always seemed to be at home when you needed someone to support or encourage you. PKS

NEWS AROUND THE TOWN.

Warm congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. [“SKYFFIES’ and Rheta] van der SKYF on the birth of their bonny little son in the Fort Beaufort hospital on Thursday 11 September.

Our thoughts are with Mr.Gus [PEINKE] and his family as they mourn the passing of mother Mrs. [Anne PEINKE], who died peacefully in the Adelaide Old Age Home last week, after having been in poor health for a long while. Her funeral which was attended by many members of family as well as old friends, was held in Fort Beaufort on Saturday 13 September. The [PEINKEs] were a very well known farming family in the [Ma…..] district before leaving when that area was included in the Ciskei. Mr. Gus PEINKE and his wife have been settled near [Kareehuis].
[Image out of focus, so the names are not clear, but this is probably the death of Anne PEINKE mentioned in the Adelaide News below]

NA DIE LAASTE RUSPLAAS Ds. W A LANDMAN
Somerset-Oos
Dr. Willem LANDMAN, wat in 1926 aan Gill-Kollege gematrikuleer het, is verlede week in Kaapstad oorlede in die ouderdom van 77 jaar. Dr LANDMAN is op Waanheuwel in die Alexandria distrik gebore. Hy het sy teologiese studies op Stellenbosch voltooi en is in 1943 gelegitimeer. Hy was die eerste direkteur van inligting van die Kaapse Kerk en het die pos beklee totdat hy in 1978 sy emeritaat aanvaar het. Hy was voorsitter van die kommissie wat in 1970 deur deur die Algemene Sinode benoem is om ‘n omvattende ondersoek na rassverhoudinge in die lig van die Skrif te doen, en die besluite wat die Sinode daaroor geneem het, is vervat in ‘Ras, Volk en Nasie’ tot vandag toe die NGK se standpunt oor rasseverhoudinge in Suid-Afrika. In sy opvattinge was dr. LANDMAN egter dikwels sy tyd vooruit. Eers in die jongste tyd sou die algemene opinie onder kerkmense in ooreenstem min gekom met die oortuigings van kierdie reverdige man. Dr. LANDMAN was dertig jaar lid: (Scriba) van die moderatuur van die Kaapse Kerk. Hy was van 1971 tot 1986 voorsitter van die Streekraad van die Bybelgenootskap en is onlangs as lewenslange erelid van die Bybelgenootskap benoem. Die Universiteit van Stellenbosch het in 1977 ‘n credoktersgraad aan hom toeken. Voorrwaar ‘n man op wie Gill trots kan wees. Dr. LANDMAN is in 1939 met mej.Hilda ENGELBRECHT van Upington getroud. Drie seuns en ‘n dogter is uit die huwelik gebore en daar is twee kleinkinder. Een van dr LANDMAN se laaste preke – ‘Brugbou. God s opdrag vir elke Christen’ – het in Die Kerkbode van 13 Augustus verskyn, SE (Met erekenning aan Die Kerkbode)

TOEKENNIG AAN WYLE DR IAN HOFMEYR

Mev. Ria HOFMEYR van Windhoek, die weduwee van wyle dr Ian HOFMEYR (oudste seun van wyle dr Jan Hendrik HOFMEYR van Pretoria en kleinseun van wyle dr John HOFMEYR van Somerset-Oos) het verlede Vrydag in Kaapstad ‘n goue medalje en kontantprys van R10 000 namens haar man ontvang vir die besonder rol wat hy gespeel het op het op die gebied van verdowing, van gen vervoer van wildediere. Die Wêreld Natuurfonds, wat vanjaar 25 jaar oud is, word in Suid-Afrika verteenwoordig deau die SA Natuurstiging. As deel van die 25-jarige bestaansviering, het dr Anton RUPERT en familie besluit om deur middle van ‘n afdeling van hulle familietrust (die RUPERT- Natuurstigting) driejaarliks ‘n goue medalje en kontantprys va R10 000 beskikbaar te stel aan ‘n person (of persone) wat op die gebied van Natuurbewaring in Suider-Afrika hom/haar buitengewoon onderskei (het)
Die S.A. Natuurstigting administreer hierdie toekennong namens die RUPERTfamilie, maar die finale keuse aan wie sodanige toekennings gemaak word berus by laasgenoemdes. Daarby is hierdie ook nie tot ‘n enkele toekenning beperk nie, sodat daar vanjaar drie persone op hiedie wyse vereer is van wie twee nadoods. Mev Ria HOFMEYR is ook meegedeel dat haar persoonlike voortsetting van haar eggenoot se navorsingswerk, deur middle van die praktiese oordra van die kennis wat sy opgedoen het,’n geringe rol gespeel het nie in die RUPERTfamilie se keuse van dr HOFMEYR as een van diegene aan wie die toekenning gemaak word.(Aangesien ds en mev. John HOFMEYR net een seun gehad het, en hulle twee getroude dogters elk ook net een seun, was dr Ian HOFMEYR, wat die voornaam ‘John Murray’ met sy doop ontvang het, die enigste kleinseun wat sy naam gedra het.)

As draers het opgetree: Gert SNOER – swear, Rudolf KILIAN – Swaer, Hendrik BLACK – Swaer, Lourens BOUWER – Seun, Renier ELS – Vriend, Ferdi SNOER – Susterskind. Ons verseker die gesin en familie van ons opregte meegevoel met hul swaer verlies.
