Hallo :-)   I apologize, I missed the second page of "The death of Major BAILIE."   Friday, May 1, 1883   BIRTH,- At No. 1 Railway Cottage, Queenstown, on the 21st instant, the wife of M. ALMOND, Locomotive Foreman, of a daughter.   THE DEATH OF MAJOR BAILIE. Many will regret to hear of the death of Major BAILIE, which took place at King Williamstown last Tuesday.  The deceased was well known to the people in the Queenstown district.  It will be remembered that some years ago he was in charge of the Police Force at Tylden, and did some active service while there.  The brother of the deceased – Mr. H.J. BAILIE – is a resident in this district, at Andries’ Nek.  His father was killed in the last Kafir war, while taking part in an action at the Amatola Range.  He was buried near the place where he fell.  A small mound marks the spot, which is still pointed out to the traveller as BAILIE’s Grave.  The following brief history of the deceased Major is given in the Cape Mercury:-  “Major BAILIE joined the Frontier Armed and Mounted Police, under Sir Walter CURRIE, in the year 1855, and was promoted sub-inspector in 1858, and inspector in 1871;  doing good service in the districts of Albany, Fort Beaufort, Queenstown, Peddie, and various other parts of the Colony.  He commanded No. 6 troop for many years, and, in testimony of their esteem for him, the non-commissioned officers and men of the troop presented him with a valuable silver service.  In 1873 he marched through the Maluties to Basutoland, to assist in the interception and capture or the notorious rebel Chief LANGALABILELE, and was fortunate enough to personally arrest him in Basutoland, in presence of Colonel GRIFFITH, then Governor’s Agent in Basutoland.  At the outbreak of the Gcaleka war n 1877, he was stationed in Tembuland, and it is well known to every one acquainted with the history of it, of what value his services were to the Government during that war.  For months together he never knew what it was to have any covering but his blanket, which no doubt laid the foundation of the disease that has brought him to a premature death.  At this time his family was at Fort Beaufort, and he never had a chance of getting out of the field to see them for sixteen months, during which time his younger children had quite forgotten him, and upon his arrival fled from him, instead of running to him and embracing him, and we are told repeatedly asked when that man was going away again.  In July, 1880, he marched at the head of the right wing of the C.M.R., under Colonel BAYLY, to Basutoland, where he was again absent from his family for eighteen months, and during those trying times and exposures his health thoroughly broke down, and he consequently died after a painful illness on Tuesday morning last at the early age of 48.  He leaves a widow and seven children, only one of whom is yet capable of earning anything for himself or his mother and her little ones.  A life like this has been sacrificed for the country.  The same energy and devotion to business would have given a fortune;  and it is the duty of the country to see that the family are comfortably provided for.  What the Colony owes cannot be estimated in money, and we trust the Government will next session follow well established precedents, and provide such a pension as will allow Mrs. BAILIE to educate her family, some of whom may probably enter the civil or military service.” ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Sunelia Heath <[email protected]> To: Indexers <[email protected]>; Eastern Cape List <[email protected]>; Brittish Immigrants <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 6, 2014 10:42 AM Subject: [PRESS] Queenstown Free Press (May 1883) Friday, May 1, 1883   BIRTH,- At No. 1 Railway Cottage, Queenstown, on the 21st instant, the wife of M.

And stated to the first nigh policeman he met that a man had been murdered at Zwartkops.  He stated where the body lay adding that it appeared to be and Italian or Spaniard well-known in Port Elizabeth.  At the first streak of dawn Field-cornet KELLY aroused Sergeant BUCKLEY in charge of the Divisional Police, and they two proceeded to the spot described.  Near the Zwartkops, on a little mound not far from the main road they found the body of an Italian named Domingo ALBRUN.  This was between 7.30 and 8 a.m. yesterday.  The place where the corpse was lying was 37 paces from the highway, and about half-way between Mr RASPER’s and Mrs. BOWERMAN’s.  Further investigation elicited the facts that Mrs BOWERMAN, who had been taking a walk on the previous evening saw the body which then apparently had some vestige of life in it, and hastened to report the case to the nearest person, who was Mr BIRCH, the Railway Station-master.  The face – and in fact the whole head seemed to be smashed and bleeding from wounds received.  Shortly after this some of the murdered man’s friends who had missed him came to the spot.  A man named Philip BEE stated that he had been in his company as one of a fishing party a short time previously, and had suddenly missed him.  Hence the subsequent search.  Every indication tended to the inference that the head had been battered by a heavy stone.  The body had been watched by the man’s friends between the time of its discovery and the arrival of the Field-cornet and the Police-Sergeant.  It was then taken to the North-End gaol for examination by the district surgeon.  Meantime Mr KELLY and Sergeant BUCKLEY instituted inquiries, and both appear to have worked well together, and to have exercised a great deal of tact and intelligence in the prosecution of their investigations...   Friday, May 4, 1883   MARRIED,- At Queenstown, on the 4th April, 1883, by Special Licence, by the Rev.

Queenstown.   Tuesday, March 14, 1882   BIRTH,- At Queenstown, on the 7th inst., the wife of E. MENDELSSOHN of a Son.   MARRIED,- On February 2nd, 1882, at the Presbyterian Church, Bow, by the father of the bride, Henry Thomas BATCHELOR, R.C.P., London, to Jessie Kerr ERSKINE, eldest daughter of the Revd. Mr. ERSKINE.   Thursday, March 16, 1882   BIRTH,- At Queenstown on Friday, 10th March, the wife of H.E. BECKER, of a daughter.   MARRIED,- At Queenstown, on the 15th March, 1882, by the Rev. R. LAMPLOUGH, George Arthur ALLWRIGHT, to Teresa MILLIN, sixth daughter of Mr. John MILLIN, Ramsden, Oxford, England.   Tuesday, March 21, 1882   BRUTAL MURDER. The town was thrown into a state of excitement last week by the report that a brutal murder had been committed on the Lesseyton road.  Mr. H. CALLAGHAN forwarded a letter to the Acting Magistrate (Mr. BREDA) stating that certain bedding and clothing had been found on the outskirts of his farm, near the main road, and a further letter that the body of an European was found dragged from the main road and hidden in some boulders a little below Lesseyton Nek.  The Acting Magistrate, accompanied by the District Surgeon, proceeded to the spot, and had the body conveyed to the gaol hospital.  There was some delay in identifying the murdered man, but this was ultimately done by Mr. WISE, who recognized it as being that of Mr. John LIEFELDT, who was returning with his wagon from the Fields.  It was also afterwards identified by Mr CARLISLE, a relative.  Mr LIEFELDT had occasion to discharge his driver at Reddersburg, and suspicion at once rested on this individual and the leader, to Finoes of Oxkraal.  Mr BREDA at once set the town and Divisional Police at work.  It was soon ascertained that a number of oxen answering to the decription of those owned by Mr LIEFELDT, had been offered by natives for sale, but not sold on the market, the Marketmaster taking a copy of the man’s pass as a guarantee of good faith, (this was granted by Mr. HEMMING in 1876).  These oxen were afterwards bought by Mrs. WESSELS and are now in the possession of the Court, four being sworn to as belonging to Mr LIEFELDT.  This wagon with gear was afterwards found outspanned and left at the west end of the town, evidently driven thus far, the oxen being taken out and sold.  The cartel and sides of the wagon were besmeared with blood, and the handle of the screw jack found in the wagon was covered with human hair, shewing plainly that the murderer had attacked Mr. LIEFELDT while asleep in the cartel, and battered him to death with this instrument.  The jaw was broken, and the head terribly disfigured...   Tuesday, March 28, 1882   A YOUNG man, named William BARKER, was found dead in his room on Tuesday morning.  He had been drinking heavily for some months past.  When discovered he had what was supposed to be a bottle of brandy close to him;  the contents of the bottle were examined by the District Surgon and pronounced to be a vile poisonous compound.  It was pretty well known where deceased obtained the stuff, and the matter being incidentally referred to at the licensing board, and application for a renewal of the licence was refused.  The whole of the circumstances connected with the death of BARKER are sad in the extreme.- Fort Beaufort Advocate.   A SAD CASE.- A man named McLAGHLIN left his home in Scotland about three months ago, for an appointment on the Cape railways.  It appears that he was taken ill on board the steamer shortly after leaving England, and was under the Doctor’s care all through the voyage.  He had married just before starting and his wife accompanied him on his journey being constantly engaged in nursing and tending him.  On his arrival at Port Elizabeth, however, he entered his duties as engine driver on the Midland line, and actually performed one journey to Graff-Reinet but his malady was too strong for him, and he was obliged to give up his employment.  He lingered for a few weeks, but gradually grew worse, and died in Uitenhage on Thursday week last.  His funeral was attended by a large number of his fellow countrymen, and we (Chronicle) understand their sympathy assumed a more practical form than that shown by mere attendance at the grave.  Unfortunately, the poor widow is left without any means of subsistence here.   Thursday, March 30, 1882   It is our melancholy duty to recordthe death of Mrs. S. PARKER, wife of Mr. T.H. PARKER, senior.  The lamented deceased came to this colony with her parents among the Settlers of 1820, and in early life joined the Wesleyan Methodist Church and remained a consistent member and class leader up to the last.  Mrs. PARKER become a teacher of youth at the early age of 16 years, and (although the loving and thoughtful mother of a large family, eleven of whom reached the age of maturity and eight survive) continued in this her work of pleasure up to a few weeks of her death.  The dear departed one, after a short illness left her sorrowing friends early on Saturday morning, and the funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, followed by a very large number of mourners and friends.   MARRIED- By Special licence at St. Michael’s Church, by the Rev. VYVYAN, Capt. A.P. TAINTON, to Jessie Goldsmith, third daughter of the late James LONG, Esq.- No Cards.   DIED – At Queenstown, on 25th March, 1882, Sarah PARKER (born PENNY), the beloved wife of Thomas H. PARKER, Senr., aged 71 years, 8 months, and 17 days, leaving a husband and large family to mourn their loss

BELL and SHEPSTONE, Solicitors, Queenstown. January 26th, 1882   Tuesday, February 7, 1882   FATAL ACCIDENT – It is our painful duty to record a sad accident that occurred between this town and Whittlesea yesterday morning.  Mrs WOODFORD, who lost her husband a few months ago in Scotland, was being driven from Whittlesea to Queenstown, and on arriving at Brack Kloof, the driver turned to the side of the road to avoid some wagons, when the wheel came in contact with a stone, overturning the cart, throwing Mrs. WOODFORD and her little son under the wagon;  the wheel passed over the body of Mrs. WOODFORD, inflicting serious injuries, while the son, a child about 2 or 3 years of age, was killed on the spot.  Mrs WOODFORD was at once conveyed back to Whittlesea, and messengers dispatched at once to Queenstown for medical aid.  We tender our sympathy to the family and friends in their sad bereavement.   Tuesday, February 14, 1882   DIED,- Near Whittlesea, on the 6th February, 1882, Hubert Henry WOODFORD, aged 3 years and 10 months;  and at Whittlesea on the 6th February, 1882, Mary Sarah WOODFORD. (born FILMER), and widow of the late John Henry WOODFORD, aged 33 years and 9 months.  Their deaths were caused from injuries received by the overturning of a cart.  Friends at a distance please accept this intimation.   Thursday, February 16, 1882   BIRTH,- At the Bolotwa, on the 13th February, 1882, the wife of H.

SCOTT, aged 11 months.   Tuesday, February 28, 1882   We regret to hear that Mr. H. LEONARD, a trader in the Tambookie Location was murdered last week.  Five Kafirs have been apprehended by the Resident Magistrate of Lady Frere, who is holding a preliminary examination.  We believe they have all confessed their complicity in the crime.   DROWNING.- We regret to hear that Mr. Hans MEYER of the Bongolo while crossing the rivulet running between the farms of Mr. S.J. BROWN and M.R. WRIGHT which was running a perfect torrent on Saturday last, was washed down and drowned.  Mr MEYER was a strong hearty man but the current was so swift as to was him clean away, and carried the body with such force as to prevent up to the present its recovery though diligent search has been made for it.  He was accompanied by Mr GOOSEN, who fortunately managed to reach the bank and thus escaped.   We regret to hear of the death yesterday morning, of Mrs. BROOKS Senr., (born CHADWICK), formerly of Grahamstown, but lately residing with her sons (Clothiers &C. in Queenstown.)  It would appear that the lamented deceased was much upset during the hail storm on Saturday week, and that on that day she caught a severe cold which settled inwardly, from which she never rallied, but died after intense suffering yesterday at midday.  We tender our sincere sympathy to the family in their sad bereavement.   DIED,- At Queenstown, on the 27th February, 1882, Mrs. Oliver BROOKS, aged 52 years and 4 days, relict of the late Mr. Bernard BROOKS, leaving a large family and sorrowing friends to mourn their loss. The Funeral will move from the residence, in Prince Alfred-street, to-morrow afternoon, at 5 O’Clock.
