FUNERAL of the Hon. Joachim Willem STOLL Esq
Yesterday the remains of this excellent man were conveyed from his house in
Strand-street to their final resting place in the Dutch Burying Ground,
Somerset Road. The deceased had expressly desired that his funeral should be
conducted in the most simple and private manner; but an immense concourse of
all ranks and classes of the Inhabitants of Cape Town and its Vicinity
assembled in front of his late dwelling, lined the streets, and covered the
stoeps and tops of the houses, by 3 oclock, and a long procession of
gentlemen, headed by His Excellency the Governor, and the Judges of the
Supreme Court, followed the humble bier on foot, and the members of the
Executive and Legislative Councils, with the Deacons and Elders of the
Lutheran Church, bore his pall. On arriving at the place of interment a
simple hymn was sung, and an affecting address and prayer offered up by the
Rev Mr Van Staveren. The earth then closed on the dust of one who was an
honor to his country and to human nature.
