TRANSCRIPTION. Supplied by Frans as a photograph Surname VAN DER MERWE; first names JACOBUS JOHANNES GIDEON; date of death TIENDE OKTOBER 1961; sex MANLIK; place of death a street address at CALVINIA, the street name not legible; race BLANK; age and date of birth 72 JAAR (23.10.1888); condition GETROUD; occupation RUSTENDE BOER; pension GEEN; causes of death MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, CORONARY THROMBOSIS; duration SUDDEN; medical practitioner DR J.G.L. STRAUSS; place of birth WILLISTON; residential address the same Calvinia street; INTENDED PLACE OF BURIAL: WILLISTON. Informant's signature is not legible; his qualification is BEGRAFNISONDERNEMER - an UNDERTAKER, of Hoofstraat, Calvinia. The form carries an identity number, which is recorded in the private research note and deliberately not here. *** WHAT IT SETTLES: THE DEATH DATE. *** 10 October 1961, which is what the model holds and which REFUTES Melville's 1950 (SRC-263). That half of LEAD-0379 is closed. *** WHAT IT IS NOT: THIS IS THE CIVIL REGISTRATION, NOT THE MASTER'S DEATH NOTICE. *** Form B.M.D.2 has no field for immovable property, so it does NOT say what ground he held and does NOT answer LEAD-0341. The document still wanted is the estate file at the Master's office. The two are easy to confuse and were confused here in advance. *** TWO FIELDS ARE WRONG, AND THE INFORMANT IS WHY. *** He is an undertaker, not family, filling a form 73 years after the birth. (1) DATE OF BIRTH 23.10.1888: the model holds 23 November 1888 on SRC-629, Kola's own baptism entry of 2 December 1888, which reads 'Geboren 23 Nov: 1888'. A contemporaneous register beats a 1961 informant. Worth noting that PP-000276 records this model ONCE holding 23 October 1888 and correcting it in September - so this form is very probably where that old date came from in the first place. (2) PLACE OF BIRTH WILLISTON: he was baptised at Calvinia and PP-000276 holds Calvinia at high confidence. NEITHER FIELD IS ACTED ON. The burial entry, WILLISTON, agrees with GRV-1454 in the Williston old town cemetery.

Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
