Thursday, March 6, 1930 Cathcart Notes Wedding A quiet though very pretty wedding was solemnised at Cathcart on Wednesday afternoon, the 19th, when Muriel, only daughter of Mr. And Mrs. E.J.

Monday, March 10, 1930 We buried them together. Ex-Burgher H.K. SHEPPARD, of the Transvaal told this story during the celebrations at Ladysmith a few days ago: “Next morning we came back on to Spion Kop. A man SWARTS and I walked about this hill and saw, sitting between two rocks, a Tommy. His rifle was pointed at us. We levelled our guns and advanced to him cautiously. We thought he slept. When we reached him we saw the tiny mark of a Mauser bullet between his eyes. He was dead. SWARTS stepped forward and said: ‘I want his rifle.’ He jerked it, but the stiff finger of the dead man was around the trigger. The shot was fired and SWARTS fell dead at my feet, hit as the ‘Tommy’ was between the eyes. We buried them both in one grave just there.” Wednesday, March 12 , 1930 Tylden Notes Congratulations to Mr. And Mrs. P.J. MARAIS on the birth of a son.
