WILLIAMS (Acting R.M.). Dr. CURREY, and Sergeant BLYTH having proceeded to the place found MILNE lying on a bed.  A post mortem examination was held by Drs. GRIMMER and CURREY, and afterwards at an inquest partially held before Mr. WILLIAMS, Dr. GRIMMER stated as his opinion that death could not have been self-inflicted.  He found a punctured wound through the left temple, extending right into the scalp and brain.  Two little children of the deceased have been examined, but not on oath, and made a statement to the effect that they had seen their mother strike their father with a pair of scissors which were produced.  Francis and Mrs. MILNE, who had baen arrested on suspicion just after the occurrence became known, were brought up before the Acting Resident Magistrate, and remanded.  The body of the dead man was buried in the Dutoitspan cemetery.   Tuesday, June 5, 1883   BIRTH,- On the 26th May, at King Williamstown, the Wife of G.

DAVIS. – The Star says:  We regret to have to announce the death of the Rev. J.W. DAVIS, Wesleyan Minister, who for many years was the resident minister in the location here, but who has subsequently been engaged in other fields of the Church and Mission work, latterly at East London.  The rev. Gentleman had only recently gone up the supernumerary list, and had but a few weeks backs purchased a house near Oatlands for the purpose of retiring here for the remainder of his days.  In his time he has rendered to the Wesleyan cause excellent service.  He translated the Bible into Kafir, and was the author of a Kafir Dictionary.  He was of quiet, unpretending habits, and was much esteemed by all who knew him.  His death was rather sudden.  He was about town as usual a week or so ago, but for seven days had been confined to his room with a very painful complaint, from which he succumbed last evening at about half-past five o’clock.  To his children who are left behind, and to his large family circle, we tender our sincere condolences.  [Some time ago Mr DAVIS was a resident of Queenstown, holding the position of General Superintendent of Wesleyan Missions up to the time he resigned the appointment.  He owned considerable property in Queenstown. – Ed. F.P.   Supposed Horrid Murder at Tygerhoek. A correspondent writes to the Graaff-Reinet Advertiser:- A trader, by name Jacob van Rensburg VAN NIEKERK, on his way from Paarl to the Free State, arrived late on the night of Tuesday at the above farm, asked and obtained leave to outspan, purchasing and paying for a joint of mutton with which he appears to have returned to his cart, and subsequently to have gone to sleep on the cushions of the cart placed upon the ground, and it is presumed his boy lay down within 6 or 7 feet feet on a sack, and from there drove a rifle bullet through his master’s head, as he slept;  then, decamping with rifle, ammunition and contents of his master’s pockets, &c., the body being found in the morning apparently not having moved.  As the servant had not been seen by any person, owing to the late arrival, it was not possible to give a description of him.  Immediate information was sent to the R.M. at Murraysburg, who left the following morning with the District Surgeon and Chief Constable (a six hours’ journey).  As soon as depositions were taken, which lasted until too late to travel, and a post mortem examination was made, it was decided that the Chief Constable should go to the last outspanning place, Waaifontein, when he ascertained the servant was a youth about 16 or 17 years of age, and subsequent telegrams state he was engaged at Beaufort West.  They had only parted from some fellow-travellers at Waaifontein.  There the lad can be recognised, as also the rifle, by the people.  The trader’s satchel was not taken, and was found to contain promissory notes, &c., to a good amount, it further appearing he had undertaken the collection of monies for other parties.  We await the inquest, and until such time it will be as well to be content herewith.   Friday, June 19, 1883   BIRTH,- At Queenstown, on 12th June, the wife of John CRAIG, C.E., of a daughter.   MARRIED,- At Port Elizabeth, on the 7th June, 1883, by the Rev.

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 Tem...   MURDER. (Telegraph.) Half-an-hour after midnight of Sunday a man who had been one of a fishing party out at Zwartkops came into town. 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.

G. STILWELL, Executor. Queenstown, April 2, 1883   Tuesday, April 10, 1883   FATAL GUN ACCIDENT. A Uniondale correspondent writes to the George and Knysna Herald:- “I regret to have to record from the farm Elandsfontein, in this district, a most distressing, and to the relatives a most heartrending accident which occurred on the 10th March.  On the day mentioned a hunting party was arranged to start from Mr. Andries Hercules FERREIRA’s farm above mentioned.  Amongst the sportsmen, many of whom belonged to the connected nected families of the ZONDAGHs and FERREIRAs, were Mr. Ignatius FERREIRA and his younger brother, Salomon, the illfated deceased.  On proceeding some 500 yards from the homestead, several strange dogs mixed with those intended to hunt.  For the purpose of separating them “Natie” dismounted, his younger brother remaining on horseback just behind him.  ‘Natie’ accidentally, whilst dividing the dogs, struck the stock of his gun against the earth, thereby smashing the lock and exploding the charge.  The barrel of the piece being at the time of the explosion under his arm, caused the charge to pass behind and strike the face and neck of his unfortunate brother.  Mr. Naas ZONDAGH, Thys son, one of the party, at once lifted him from the horse and carried him home, although every effort was made, he expired within about two hours from the time of the accident.  He was only able to articulate a few words, and thse before he was carried into the house.  The deceased, only 13 years of age, was the son of A.H. FERREIRA, of Elandsfontein, and a youth of great promise.  The deepest sympathy is felt throughout the district, not only for the bereaved parents, but for the loving brother who was the unwitting cause of the catastrophe.  The sufferings of the latter can hardly be described.   GORED TO DEATH.- We regret to record a sad occurrence which has happened at Amalinda.  On Friday last Mr. Henry TAYLOR, of that place, was carting manure on to his mealie lands, assisted by his son, a lad of twelve years, who was acting as leader to the oxen.  The manure was being delivered at different spots, and Mr. TAYLOR had just ordered the team to move on.  One of the two foremost oxen, a borrowed one, in starting ,either viciously, or accidentally thrust a horn upwards into the stomach of the the unfortunate lad who was leading.  He was terribly mangled, and received such injury as to make his recovery impossible.  He lingered a day and then died,  The poor lad was Mr. TAYLOR’s only child, and much sympathy is expressed on account of this distressing occurrence. – Dispatch.   Tuesday, April 17, 1883   The Sad Death of Mr. SCHOLTZ. The Uitenhage Times has received a telegram form Du Toit’s Pan, giving some further particulars of the melancholy death by suicide of Mr. SCHOLTZ, the C.C. & R.M. of Du Toit’s Pan, and also one of the members of the Special Court for the trial of illicit diamond cases.  It would appear that Mr. SCHOLTZ had for some time been suffering from dyspepsia, and on Friday passed a very bad night through that distressing malady.  The next morning he got up about breakfast time, and went into his dressing room for a few minutes afterwards.  His wife and her nurse heard the report of a pistol, and immediately rushed into the room, where a shocking and extremely painful sight met their view.  Lying on a bed was the lifeless body of Mr. SCHOLTZ, holding a revolver in his right hand, the left being pressed over it as if to steady it;  the muzzle of the weapon was thrust far into the mouth, from which blood was issuing.  A doctor was called in, who pronounced his opinion that death must have been instantaneous.  The course taken by the shot as traced by him was through the hard palate and the base of the skull, passing out at the summit of the head.  An inquest was held at about ten o’clock the same day by Mr. J.L. TRUTER, who returned a verdict of death during temporary insanity.  The funeral on Sunday morning was largely attended, the President of the High Court, Justice BUCHANAN and Justice LAWRENCE being amongst those who paid their last respects to the memory of the deceased. Referring editorially to this occurrence, the Times observes;  “Mr. SCHOLTZ was married last year, in England, to the only daughter of Mr. P.A. LANGE of this town, who was for many years resident in Kimberley...   Friday, April 20, 1883   BIRTH,- On the 8th inst., at Queenstown, the Wife of Joseph BRADY of a Son.   DIED,- On the 11th inst., at Queenstown, Walter, pougest son of Charles M. BROTHERS, aged 1 year and 8 months.   BIRTH,- At Queenstown, on the 13th April, the Wife of W.J. MARSHALL of a Daughter. BIRTH- At Queenstown, on the 17th inst., the wife of Tal. EAGAR, of a son.   “THE Execution of LEPPAN has, (says the Somerset East paper,) been fixed for Wednesday the 24th, but as that is the date of the Agricultural Show in Somerset, Government has been asked to alter the date.  VON WITT is expected on 16th.  The 24th has been fixed on.”  We doubt the correctness of the above.  No intimation has been yet received, we believe, by the Registrar of the Eastern Districts’ Court of the fixing of the date of execution.   Shocking Accident on the Railway. DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF A PLATELAYER. There died at the Port Elizabeth Hospital on Monday afternoon, a poor fellow named Robert SOWERBY, who whilst, we are sorry to learn under the influence of drink, was run over on the line of railway about a mile from Sandflats.  The deceased was a platelayer, and after having been run over must have undergone great suffering.  SOWERBY having been almost unconscious since his admission to the hospital, was not in a fit state to give an account before his death of the sad circumstances attending the accident,  The driver of the Sunday night train for Cradock, however, states that when near the Sandflats station he felt a jerk, as if the engine was going over something, but it was so slight that he did not take any notice of it, fancying at the time that perhaps it was caused in consequence of sand being on the line.  He returned with the train from Alicedale the next morning, and whilst passing the same place where he thought he had felt the jerk on the previous night, the fireman passed the remark that someone appeared to be moaning.  The driver at once pulled up and communicated with the Chief Inspector CLARKE, who was travelling in the train,  On making a search they found the deceased lying by the side of the line with one leg completely cut off and the other very much smashed.  Near where he was laying was a bottle containing Holland’s gin, and the deceased’s hat.  He had been last seen alive about 10 o’clock on Sunday night by a man named SMITH, a joiner, who noticed him walking up the line, and he was then under influence of liquor.  No doubt the unfortunate man sat down on the line and fell asleep, and the night being dark, the driver of the engine had not the opportunity of seeing him.  The deceased was brought into town at once and taken to the hospital, where, as stated above, he died on Monday afternoon after much suffering. – E.P. HERALD.   DROWNED IN THE BAAKENS RIVER.-  Yesterday morning the body of a man was found in the Baaken’s River, he having been drowned.  The deceased was Micheal SULLIVAN, and the body was seen in the river, and brought to the bank by ganger COLTON, in the employ of the Municipality.  The deceased resided in the neighbourhood, and COLTON had the body removed to his lodgings were during the mording it was viewed by the Resident Magistrate and Dr. ENSOR.  The deceased was last seen at half past eleven on Monday night when passing the police station, apparently suffering from the effects of strong drink.  He was then carrying some liquour in a bottle. – Herald. EXECUTION.- The Kimberly Advertiser reports:  The last penalty of the law was carried into effect yesterday morning on the two natives, Jonas MAPUDEN and Gheelbooi, within the walls of the Kimberly Central Prison.  The condemned men walked firmly, and appeared resigned to their fate.  On arriving at the scaffold another prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. MITCHELL, and the prisoners bad good-bye to him, as also to Mr. SCHREINER, the latter going up the steps after going up the steps after them.  They asked him to say as their last words that “they were sorry for what they had done, but drink had been the cause.  They prayed to the Lord that they might be saved.”  The ropes having been adjusted, the bolt was at once drawn, and the men fell simnltaneously.  Jonas MAPUDEN’s neck was broken instantly, but Gheelbooi, being a lighter man, his neck was not dislocated, and he died from strangulatiod, his heart ceasing to beat ten-and-a-half minutes after the drop fell.  After the bodies had hung for half-an-hour, and life pronounced extinct by the District Surgeon (Dr. GRIMMER) the bodies were cut down and put into the coffins, which lay outside the scafford.  A number of members of the medical profession were profession were present, the representatives of the Press, and a few gentleman who had received orders for admission.  Outside the gaol there was a great crowd congregated on the debris heaps near, from which a view of the proceedings could be obtained.  We must not omit to mention the get-up of the hangman, who was attired in a costume between that of a stage bandit, as he wore a tall hat, black gown, and white cotten gloves and bows, together with a broad leather belt with a large brass buckle, and carried a revolver and a large bowie knife.   Tuesday, Apri l 24, 1883   SUDDEN DEATH IN QUEENSTOWN.-  A very sudden death occurred in Queenstown on Friday.  James SMITH, Municipal tree-planter, was found dead in the plantation in Cathcart Square.  It appears that a native passing the plantation about one o’clock saw the body lying on the ground but did not take particular notice of it at the time.  On returning, however, an hour later and still seeing the body lying in the same position he crossed over the fence and found that life was extinct.  He at once related what he had seen to some other workmen at the quarries, who informed the authorities.  Dr BERRY was immediately sent for but his services were of no avail as life had been extinct for some time.  Subsequently Mr George STILWELL, Field-cornet, and Mr GARCIA, Resident Magistrate, and Dr RHIND, District Surgeon, viewed the body, after which it was removed.  The funeral took place on Saturday and as deceased had been a member of the  Mutual Benefit Society a good many of the members attended.  There was also a large attendance of other people.  Death is supposed to have resulted from heart disease.   Friday, April 27, 1883   BIRTH,- At Queenstown on the 21st April, the wife of James LAMONT, of a daughter. BIRTH,- At Queenstown, on 24th April, 1883, Mrs. T. MARSHALL, of a Son. BIRTH,- At Queenstown on the 13th April, the Wife of W.J. MARSHALL of a Daughter.

I started recording data on My Heritage site as well and then some stranger who as far as I know is not connected to us other than through my niece's husband has copied the entire tree to his and when I wrote to him his reply was that I made him the manager of the site which is absolute nonsense. I know how frustrated I was so I can imagine how you must feel.

I am with you all the way, Eira. I work on Family Tree Maker (Ancestry) which picks up and displays likely matches to any open Trees on Ancestry. I have long since taken down what appeared of my "Public Member Tree" on line and have "privatised" my work since, as someone had picked up most of my tree and was adding their "research" of Richardsons who were in no way connected to mine. However, I still get the "hints" if something appears on a tree on the public members trees. I have spent a lot of money and time on the Scotlandspeople pay per view site digging up ancestors in my Richardson line and have managed to get right back to the earliest date of a 1659 baptism. Last year i had sent a Tree Chart of all of this family line to a cousin of my late mother's, for his 97th birthday. I had found a "hint" shortly after sending off the chart and on following it, I discovered someone who had appropriated what had been on line before I privatised. I contacted said person via Ancestry and explained she had the wrong Elizabeth marrying into the family and asked if the marriage certificate had been obtained. The response was that no she hadn't, would probably do so but would first speak to her Granddad (naming him) as he "had done a lot of research on the family". Her Granddad was Mother's cousin!! I responded pointing out that I had just sent him the Chart and requested that she not put it on line. Only to discover a few days ago that a substantial part had appeared on line. But once again said person had created a pickle; attaching, from Ancestry, another "ancestor" who did not belong and included a half sibling as "Francis" on my ggrandfather's generation who was actually listed on my tree with the abbreviated name "Frank" correctly transcribed from the records I worked on. What annoys me in all this is that I have a large file of biographical narrative on every person on the Tree chart which I wanted to send to this elderly cousin. I am now hesitating. I have no objection to sharing any research with legit researchers and have pointed this out to said person. But I have also told her that when I find something of interest on a Public Member Tree I always contact the "owner" to ask the source of their information and if I discover that our families are connected I then ask if I may add the information to my research. Simple manners! And it has never failed for me, I share as generously when I am asked for info in the same way. Double GRRR!! Lyn Surrey From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 05 March 2014 08:01 To: [email protected] Subject: SOUTH-AFRICA-EASTERN-CAPE Digest, Vol 9, Issue 70 I want to rant about the importation of my family data undertaken at no little expense by me in London and elsewhere by people who have downloaded my data from Geni and have placed it on My Heritage where for a fee I can view my own research. I know the data is in the public domain and to that extent does not belong to me but what I loath are the ignorant errors made by those who download the data. For example, Quakers did not use the days or months of the year as did the non-Quakers in England and could have noted a birth as occurring on the 'third day of the seventh month' and now by the downloaders as the 3rd of July' whereas prior to 1752, the seventh month was called September by non-Quakers. I would like these people to care enough about genealogy to be aware that any second-hand data should always be verified before posting online and not to pass off the research as their own. Grr. Eira
