Eastern Province Herald (later The Herald)

According to the catalogue of the Cory Library, this newspaper was published in Port Elizabeth and started publication on 7th May 1845. After 10th November 2001 it became The Herald.

Early extracts from 1847 were transcribed by Sue Mackay from original copies of the Newspapers held in the Colonial Office collections in the National Archives at Kew, London.

Transcribed from CO53/26 (Jan 1847-Jun 1850 and 1856) and CO53/27 (1854-1855).   Newspapers for the second half of 1850 are not included in the folder CO53/26. Instead are some issues for 1856. Issues for 1854-55 are included in CO53/27. 

Extracts from the Eastern Province Herald CO53/27 National Archives, Kew, London, were kindly transcribed from my digital photos by Leanne Starkey, now with some later additions added by me following a later visit to Kew. (Sue Mackay)

Sue Mackay has started adding extracts from missing editions from 1847-1856 and subsequent issues from online scans available through the British Library. Where the type has been worn away or the print is smudged gaps or best guesses have been included in square brackets.

Some later editions of the Eastern Province Herald have now been transcribed by Carol Beneke, covering 1939-1948. Carol writes: "These newspapers were found in a garage belonging  to a member's uncle. He has now given me permission to place them in our own private eGGSA library at the main library in Port Elizabeth. The papers I have cover from the 1939 one to 15.05.1948, covering mainly the Second World War." These later transcriptions can be found from Title #26 onwards.

Carol has transcribed BMDs from some later editions of the newspaper from 1978 up to 2001, when the paper became The Herald.

Modern BMDs from The Herald have been transcribed transcribed by Carol Beneke, Becky Horne and Hester Marx.

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. My dearest husband. Every day with you was a precious gift. Through pain and suffering, joy and happiness, you were always the same loving and gentle man. Thank you for all the wonderful years that you chose to share with me. Thank you for all your loving support and endless patience. I love you. I know that you will always be with me in spirit to guide and protect me. I will miss you always but find peace in the knowledge that you are safely resting in the arms of Jesus. All my love. Your wife Edith (Edie).

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. My dear son-in-law. You have always been there when I needed you. Nothing was ever too much for you as you were always ready to help. You have given my daughter a wonderful life and for that I thank you. I will always miss you and all our late night conversations over tea and the forbidden cake. Thank you for being the wonderful person that you are and for enriching all our lives. I will miss and love you always. Your mother-in-law: Peggy Botes.

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. My father. You were always the best father anyone could wish for. I never saw the artist, only the man that sacrificed anything and everything to ensure the happiness of his daughter and grandchildren. It is still the greatest honour to be called your child as I can truly say that I have always had the best dad. I know that you will always be with me everywhere I go and guide my everything I do. Thank your for having me as your daughter. I will love you always as know you love me. Miss you always. Your daughter: Nadia.

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. Our dearest Uncle. You have taught us so much about life through all your jokes and anecdotes. You taught us how to fish and persevere through all obstacles. We miss you and know that your place in our hearts can never be filled by anyone else. Thank your for your love and for always seeing the best in us. We love you and miss you. Your nieces and nephews: Chris, Juan, Avis, Annelize, Olla, Enrique and Li, Ilse, Sabastian, Liesl, Inge and Chyenne, Conrad, Travis, Nefretitti and Reginald.

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. To our father. The most wonderful person that God could ever have created. He made you from a new mould and broke it after you were born. You are and always will be the best father to us. We never missed having our father around because you were always there. We never felt that it was unfair that our friends had a father and a grandfather because we had a two-in-one. You taught us so much and we know that you will never miss the most important things in our lives because you are watching us and you are proud of us. Even though you are not with us in the flesh, we know that you will always be beside us in spirit and inside our hearts. We will remember all the wonderful things about you and we will never forget you. But through it all, we know that you are watching over us and that you are with God. We love you more than life itself and we miss you dearly. Your grandchildren: Amos, Cathy and Ruan.

LANGDOWN, Amos Archibald. To our brother-in-law. You have always been an inspiration to us as well as a great source of love and strength. Your wonderful, giving personality will always be remembered. We will miss you and know that you have found peace in Christ. Brothers-in-law: John (Tokkie), Chris, Edmund, Gerhardt and Reggie. Sisters-in-law Moira, Olga, Marlene, Marilyn and Rachel.
