BRADFIELD, of a Son.   DIED,- At Mountain Vale, Transkei on Thursday, the 6th April, 1892 [sic], Sarah Anne, the beloved daughter of Aaron James and Margaret Clementina ALDUM, deeply lamented by relatives and friends.   ONCE more we find a season of rejoicing engloomed by death.  The festivities of Easter week had hardly passed away when one was called from among us who may well be described as everybody’s friend.  Mr John BROWN, died on Friday last at the residence of his brother Mr F. BROWN.  At the comparatively early age of 52 he left behind him a town full of mourners.  John BROWN and his brothers have grown up with this Town.  He was twin brother to Mr William BROWN.  Different in his aims and inclinations from the rest of his family he appeared to prefer a peripatetic to a standstill existence, and was ever on the move.  Many a camp fire party has been enlivened by John’s cheery voice, for he was a zealous sportsman, ever ready for a shooting expedition, and long will he be missed by the farmers of the district, with all of whom he was ever a welcome guest.  Those who knew him in town well remembered him as a man who was ever ready to undertake any thankless work for a good cause, to raise funds for the widow or the orphan, or anyone who might be in any special trouble...   Thursday April 20, 1882   BIRTH,- At Peninsula, district of Queenstown, on the 10th April, 1882, Mrs. E.R. BRADFIELD, of a Son.   DIED,- At Queenstown on the 17th inst., James WILKINSON, late of Bowker’s Park Hotel, aged 49 years and 7 months.   SUDDEN DEATH,- We regret to hear that Mr H.J. BOTHA died very suddenly in the railway carriage on Tuesday night or early on Wednesday morning.  He was returning to Queenstown and was apparently in good health when he reached Kie Road station where he partook of some refreshments with his travelling companions.  He occupied the seat as a sleeping couch, Mr N BROWN and Mr W. PERKS occupying the top bunks.  At Kabousie these two gentlemen got out and Mr. BOTHA was then well, talking cheerfully with them.  On arrival at Tooise River, when the station masters’ assistant opened the carriage door he and the other occupants were horrified to find that Mr BOTHA had fallen, while in a fit off the seat on to the floor, face downwards, and had never moved from the time he had rolled off.  Both thumbs were bent in the palms of the hands and were clenched fast by the fingers, the leg was bent as it had been while falling, and a pool of blood was lying around the mouth the face being flat on the floor of the carriage.  The other occupants were provided for elsewhere, the blinds were put up, the carriage locked, and instructions given that nothing was to be touched until arrival in Queensotwn.  Mr BOTHA was one of the most intelligent and pushing of our Dutch Farmers.  Early in life he had his head injured and was under the idea that a portion of the skull had been splintered and was pressing on the brain causing the fits to which he was subject.  He had sold off most of his property, provided for his children at school, and we hear had even taken his ticket to pay a visit to England, accompanied by his wife, with a view to having an operation performed on his head to see if this would cure him of his affliction.  Great sympathy is felt for the widow and family and large circle of friends in their sad bereavement.   April 25, 1882   DIED,- At Qumatta Poort, on the 18th April, 1882, William MOFFITT, late Sergeant of 91st Regt., aged 74 years. – Friends and relatives please accept this notice.   DIED,- At Queenstown, on the 15th April, at the residence of his brother, after a lingering illness, John BROWN, aged 53 years, formerly of Clare, Suffolk, England, deeply regretted by his relatives and very large circle of friends.
