Sterfkennis

TRANSCRIPTION: (1) Sophia Johanna OosthuizenL, born Mocke. (2) Born in CAPE TOWN. (3) Parents: FREDRICK SIMON MOCKE & ALETTE ROUX [= Frederik Simon MockeL x Aletta Catharina RouxM - primary confirmation of her parents]. (4) Age 65 YEARS 10 MONTHS 11 DAYS. (5) Farmer's Wife. (6) Married to Jacobus Daniel Johannes OosthuizenM. (7) Day of decease: "JUNE 1883" AS WRITTEN. (8) "Died at the farm EZELSFONTEIN, DISTRICT ALBERT." (9) Children: [margin] Adriana Cecilia, Sophia Johanna, Fredrica Johanna [with a rotated margin note, partly illegible, apparently marking them born Oosthuizen]; [main] ALETTA MARIA HELENA HITCHES [= her HITGE daughter, counted among her children]; Sons: Ockert Almero, Fredrick Simon, John Peter, Peter Marincowitz [followed by what reads as "Minors" or "Minor"]. (10) "Will, will shown" - SHE LEFT A WILL. DATE PROBLEM: "June 1883" is irreconcilable with the age field - 65y 10m 11d from her 14 Jan 1820 birth computes to ~25 NOV 1885, eight days from the tree's 3 Dec 1885; and if minors were being marked, John Peter (b.1863) unmarked implies he was already 21+, i.e. death after ~1884. Either the year digit is a misread 1885 or the birth/age is wrong. FamilySearch indexed 1883 from this page. ABEL ALBERTUS IS ABSENT - from BOTH parents' death notices now.
