H.J. LELLO ------X------ >From Our Own Correspondent ------X------ MOOI RIVER, November 6. The Lake Hotel, Weston, has been the scene of tragic events during the weekend. Mrs. LELLO died on Thursday, as already reported, and at that time her husband Mr. H.J. LELLLO, was in very low state of health. In fact, he has been ailing for many months, and underwent several severe operations in Durban, sometime ago. When the news spread on Sunday forenoon, that Mr. LELLO was no more, it was a great shock to the community, coming as it it did so soon after his wife's. The deceased, who was 48 years of age, was for many years engaged in commercial pursuits in Durban, but on account of his late wife's health, he was advised to leave the Coast, and accordingly about five years ago, purchased the Lake Hotel, Weston, where he has specialised in the catering for the summer visitors from the Coast, and had proved, quite a successful venture. Mr. LELLO was of a most genial disposition, and was well liked by all those who came in contact with him. He is survived by four children, and several brothers and sister, to whom we extend our sympathy. The funeral took place at St. John's Cemetery, Weston, on Monday afternoon, and was well attended. The Vicar, Rev. S.H.R. NOBLE, conducted the service. (Note: Transcribed as it appears in the newspaper).

Welcome back Becky, Oh how we have missed you! I personally look forward to your wonderful contribution to the list. Kind regareds Fay ........ This is a very busy list with very helpful subscribers that share the passion of giving. I myself have taken a bit of a sabbatical from the list but once I get going again, there is going to be a flourish of emails that will frustrate you even more.

Thank you so much for this Nikki, Here are some extracts from the 'The Story of the South African Flemmers' by Steve Herbert, a copy which is on our website. www.flemmerfamily.co.za There are a couple of good photo's of him and his medals too. He was born in Cradock on the 26th June 1865, the first child of Edward and Charlotte (Flemmer) and was baptized at St. Peter's Anglican Church. He went to the Cradock Boys' High School were he proved to be exceptionally bright, matriculating at the age of 15. It had been decided that he would follow his father into law. No university degree was required for admission as an attorney, but lengthy articles were served and exams written. Douglas was sent off to Cape Town to the legal firm of Reid and Nephew where he successfully completed his articles. He could not be admitted as an attorney until he turned 21 in 1886. While in Cape Town he played rugby for the Villager first team and lived at a boarding house at Moullie Point run by the widow of Lourens de Jongh. Mrs. de Jongh had two daughters and it was not long before Douglas had fallen in love with the younger one, Sophia (Sophy). There was no question in those days of them marrying then. Douglas was far too young, and had no means of supporting her. It must have been very difficult for this young couple when he went back to his father's practice in Cradock in 1886. They kept up a lengthy correspondence over the years and married four years later in Pretoria. The Transvaal was booming and encouraged by Sophy's brother Jim, Douglas left Cradock in 1888 for Pretoria where Jim had a legal practice. Because the Transvaal was then a Republic Douglas had to qualify to practice in Barberton which he did at Jim's office, passing his law exams in Dutch and qualifying as a sworn translator. He arrived in Barberton in 1889 when the boom was nearly over. The small prospectors had not found their fortunes, the speculators had won or lost badly and people with the real money were as ever, getting on with making more. There was plenty of legal work to do and Douglas bought a half interest in the legal practice of Henry Calderwood. He was a very good correspondent, keeping in touch with his mother and father in Cradock, and with Sophy and his brothers and business associates. The Gilfillan family is very fortunate to have a collection of letters Douglas wrote while he was in Barberton. They give a vivid picture of his thriving practice and the losses he made through an ill judged speculation. There are hunting trips and visits to the Swazi King on behalf of a client. Of course he missed Sophy, as is evident from these letters. The couple had not seen each other for eighteen long months when they were married in Pretoria on 10th April 1890. Although Douglas was a magnificent shot he only hunted for the pot. It was during his time in Barberton that he realized that if the wildlife wasn't protected it would be wiped out. He was a founder of the Transvaal Protection Society and was involved with its successor the Wildlife Protection Society most of his life. War broke out in October 1899, and Douglas left immediately for Pietermaritzburg where he played a prominent part, with 10 other Reform Committee members, in the formation of the Imperial Light Horse. As a lieutenant with the ILH he is quoted in several books on the Boer War and the regiment - he certainly saw a lot of action. I quote from the book Colonial Officers in the Boer War - Gilfillan, D F. South African War 1899-1900. Relief of Ladysmith, including action at Colenso, operations of 17-24 Jan 00, and action at Spion Kop, operations of 5-7 Feb 00 and action at Vaal Krantz, operations on the Tugela Heights (14-27 Feb 00) and action at Pieter's Hill. Relief of Mafeking. Served with the Imp Lt Horse. Queen's Medal with 4 clasps. (Photo available) Extract from G.F. Gibson's history of the ILH: 'The test for riding was rigorous enough to gladden the heart and satisfy the requirements of the most exacting Regular Cavalry Riding Master. This responsible task was undertaken by Lt Douglas Gilfillan.' there is a story of his legendary marksmanship. He had gone springbok hunting in the Karoo with a new five-cartridge rifle. At a distance of 400 yards he shot five running buck with five shots. Astonished local farmers, no mean shots themselves Douglas had a life long love of the veld and the wide open spaces. He was also a very competent botanist. The South African Botanical Annals show a number of plants to his credit and record that he identified a number of species on a farm in the Karroo Like his father before him, Douglas had a great interest in education, and for forty years was on the governing board of Jeppe Boys' High School - Jeppe Park was renamed Gilfillan Park in recognition of his services. With the children grown up Elgin was sold and Douglas and Sophy moved to Parktown before settling in Linden, where they created a beautiful garden complete with a small golf course. Sophy died on the 8th January 1939, and Douglas went to live with his son Noel, who had by then followed his father into the legal practice. When war broke out Noel immediately joined up and Douglas with Richard Bowman, by then old men had to shoulder the responsibility of managing the practice. (Bowman & Gilfillan) Douglas was 80 when the war ended and still went to his office every day. There is an amazing story told when he set out with a ranger named Edwards to hunt down a wounded lion in 1944: Suddenly the lion charged them and took them by surprise. The lion knocked Edwards over and started to savage him on the ground. Douglas Gilfillan, now nearly eighty years of age, calmly turned to the lion, put his rifle on a vital spot, and fired. The force of the shot blew the lion right over to the other side of Edwards and killed it instantly. The men congratulated Douglas on his bravery but he laughed it off and turned to see how badly Edwards had been mauled. Douglas died on the 5th of September 1948 at the home of his son Angus He was a born story-teller and people of every generation enjoyed listening to his stories. As a matter of fact, on the day he died, he had been having Sunday lunch with his son Angus, and had just told a most amusing story, when he sat back, put his hands together, and died so quietly few realised his spirit had gone Kind regards Fay -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nikki Sent: 02 December 2012 11:23 PM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com; south-africa@rootsweb.com; Craig Hilton-Taylor Subject: [ZA-EC] GILFILLAN Douglas Flemmer.

Thanks to pat. Here is my information. Edeline Marshall Ewan married George Arthur Horne in 1945. They divorced in 1946. The story goes that he was wounded, during the war, married Edeline to stay in South Africa. I have no prove of the latter statement. I have yet to find out what happened to Edeline and her sister Mary. George I have no further information. When he died or remarried or moved to another country. This is one brick wall. Thanking everyone in advanced. Douglas.

Hi, I am looking for Sarah Elizabeth Browning (born about 1810 Wiltshire?), her second husband Browning and her three sons Stephen, Henry & William Turner who are thought to have emigrated from England to South Africa in 1842-3 where they settled in the Tylden Komga area, where Stephen stayed but the other two brothers farmed in the Somerset East and Darlington Dam (formerly Lake Mentz) areas respectively.

I have a question about Horne (I have a family member married to a British Army person) also I came across a grave stone/plaque in Mossel Bay. I think Becky does Horne family research. Thanks. Douglas.

I wish to thank everyone for the e-mails covering research or transcribed documents. One day the surnames of Ewan, Flood or Baldwin will appear breaking down my brick walls. Thank you. Douglas.

Although I have not had much luck researching my family over the last few years what would do without people like Ellen. Every email that comes through I search hoping to find something and maybe one day will. We cannot say thank you enough to those who tirelessly forward all this information to us. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

You should be so very grateful to our wonderful Ellen for all her hard work, not complaining about it! It's easy enough to delete emails you don't want to read! BECAUSE of the information Ellen has been supplying I have managed to add several satisfying pieces of information into my file. The rest of us are over the moon with this information.....it makes searching for information so much easier!! It's particularly valuable to those of us who do not live in South Africa.
