Obituary
The late Mr. Robert EWAN.
(From our own Correspondent.)
Sterkstroom.
Death has been very busy among the old residents of Sterkstroom.  The past twelve months have witnessed the departure of many old and familiar faces, and it was only the other day that Sterkstroom lost one of its most distinguished men by the death of Mr. Robert EWAN.
Born in Braemar in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, he came to Sterkstroom about 46 years ago, at which place he lived ever since.  The late Mr. EWAN was one of the best known and most respected citizens of Sterkstroom.  He labored unceasingly as few know, for the progress of the town in which he settled, and his timely counsel was always sought when some new development in the town’s progress promised further realization of his hopes.
The confidence engendered by the community in the deceased was shown when on three occasions he was unanimously elected to the mayoralty, and in the main he was responsible for the various improvements that had been effected during his tenure as a councilor and mayor, which stand as a monument to his practical wisdom, such as the beautifying of our Market Square, the water and sanitation schemes, electric light, the laying out and planting with trees of EWAN Park, and the many needed improvements effected for the betterment of the location residents.
Outside his official duties he was an interested supporter of the local Boy Scouts’ Association, of which he was president since the departure of the late Dr. ROBERTSON, its first president.
As chairman of the Library and of the Building Society, he took a keen interest in those Institutions.
Mr. EWAN’s untimely death at the age of 65 years will be felt as a personal loss by all classes of the community, European, coloured, native and Indian alike.  His genial quiet humour, his kindliness to the poor, the absolute sincerity of his life, awakened a real personal regard for him in every one who came to know him.
The funeral took place on Tuesday morning last, where in the Anglican Church of St. Augustine, of which the deceased was a churchwarden, an impressive memorial service was held by the Rev. G.T. EASTEN, assisted by the Rev. LEYGONIE, of the Dutch Reformed Church…
Our strongest sympathy goes out to his widowed wife, Mrs. EWAN, and his surviving sons, Messrs. D. EWAN, secretary, Hospital Board, East London, A. EWAN, secretary, local School Board, M. EWAN, of the Standard Bank, Pretoria,, and Nurse Z. EWAN, of the General Hospital, Johannesburg, who came down to nurse her father.

Obituary
The Late Mr. Durban MARSHALL
Early on Friday morning, April 22, there passed away at the General Hospital, Johannesburg, Mr. Durban MARSHALL, aged 76 years.  For some considerable time he had been in indifferent health and at last decided to be attendend to by a specialist.  After successfully passing through a minor operation, it was decided that a major operation was necessary, and this was performed.  Mr. MARSHALL appeared to stand the strain very well, but apparently it was too much for his weakened system and on the following day he died in his sleep.
The late Mr. MARSHALL was born in Grahamstown in 1856 and lived there during his early life.  In 1888, however, his brother William, who with Mr. T.H. MARSHALL, founded the firm of MARSHALL Bros., decided to go farming and his place in the firm was taken by the late Mr. Durban MARSHALL.  For the next 19 years a very successful business was carried on in Dugmore Street, until the brothers decided to retire and dispose of their interests to Messrs.  MATTHEWS Bros.  Since that time he has lived in Queenstown, a town in which he took a great pride and for which he had a real affection.  For over 25 years Mr. Durban MARSHALL had been a very valued member of the Wesley Church Trust Committee and with his brother had watched very closely the preservation of the fabric of the church.  As a member of the Quarter Board his advice was readily given to this co-stewards and to the ministers of the Circuit on any points on which they required assistance.  Always quiet and unassuming he had never taken any prominent place in public affairs and in later years his gradually increasing deafness had rendered him more loth than ever to come forward, but his help was always available when requested and those who had business dealings with him all bear testimony to his scrupulous honesty and fairness.  As a regular attendant at Wesley Church he will be sorely missed by ministers and officials alike, and the War Memorial tablet which stands in the apse of the church will always be a testimony to the trouble he took over matters where the interests of the church were concerned, as it was largely owing to the time he put into the matter while on a holiday in England that such a beautiful tablet was obtained.  The many wreaths and floral tributes testify to the great esteem in which he was held.

Mr. W.F.

Death
CREBO.-  Passed peacefully away at the Frontier Hospital, on the 21st inst., Robert CREBO.  Aged 84 years.

Death of Mr. R. CREBO
By the death of Mr. R. CREBO late yesterday afternoon, Queenstown has lost a real landmark.  Mr. CREBO, who was 83 years of age, had been in poor health for a long time but took a serious turn about a fortnight ago.  Endeavours were made to persuade him to go to Hospital, but he refused to move from his own home till yesterday morning, when it was too late to do much for the old man.  He passed away about 5 p.m.
Up to the time of the introduction of the motor car, “Bob” CREBO (as he was familiarly known) carried on a successful livery business in Queenstown and his smart horses and carriages have been used by many distinguished personages, including Governors-General, Judges, Mr. Cecil RHODES and other famous politicians.  The “great” people Mr. CREBO used to drive himself, but for no one would he don a jacket of coat.  He was a well-known “character,” and many fine stories are woven round his name.  He was extremely popular, and beloved by all.  He has lived in Queenstown for over half a century, and was seen in the streets in his little buggy practically every day.  He attended the morning market regularly, and was known to everyone.  Mr. CREBO was very proud of one of his brothers, who became mayor of Kansas City, in U.S.A.
The introduction of motor transport brought Mr. CREBO’s business to a very small affair indeed, and he deplored the disappearance of the horse.  Bad health has kept him quiet for a number of years, but in the earlier days he was the best known man in and around Queenstown, and everybody enjoyed a quarter of an hour with “Bob” to hear his stories and reminiscences.  He was kindly and generous and took a keen interest in the development of the town.  The older generation will miss “Old Bob CREBO,”  and the sympathy of the whole community will go out to his family in their bereavement.

Death of Ex-Senator “Harry” VAN HEERDEN
The death was announced to-day of Mr. Hercules (Harry) VAN HEERDEN, father of Mr. G.C. VAN HEERDEN, M.P., at Tarkastad early this morning.  Mr. Harry VAN HEERDEN was one of the prominent men in South Africa in his active days and even after he retired to his Tarkastad home he was liked and respected for those qualities which had stood him in such good stead in the earlier days.  Mr. VAN HEERDEN achieved high positions in the service of the state and was an honoured figure in many of the most responsible offices that the country can offer to his servants.  He began his political career as M.L. A. for Cradock and ended by achieving the distinguished title of Senator the Honourable Hercules VAN HEERDEN, President of the Senate of the Union of South Africa.  He was during his parliamentary career, appointed Minister of Agriculture, an office that brought him the highest renown.  He was exceedingly popular both in the House of Assembly and in the Senate as a result of his amiable ways and moderate views.  He was a pillar of the South African Party, an example of high standing being the fact that he was selected by Mr. MERRIMAN as one of the delegates to the National Convention.  He was one of the few living survivors of that historic body of men.  Mr. VAN HEERDEN was 71 years old.  His home was Schaapkraal, Tarkastad, a well-known Border farm.  The funeral took place at Tarkastad to-day.

A Motoring Fatality
Several accidents occurred on the East London road on Monday night (states the Cape Mercury).  Mr. Fred BURGER had his car seriously damaged in a collision near Bell Rock when returning from East London.  A company of local natives on the way from Stutterheim came to grief the other side of Amabele.  Full details are not available, but we gather that the car in which, there were five passengers, struck a sneezewood pole which had former part of a gate removed some time ago.  The impact was so severe that the driver, Paul MAKAMBI, was killed on the spot, and all the other occupants of the car were injured, through apparently not very seriously.

Fell Dead on the Veld.
A European woman, Mrs. Ignatius ENGELBRECHT, residing on a farm in the Zuurberg, Somerset East district, was found dead in the veld recently (states the Cradock paper).  A post mortem examination by the District Surgeon reveals that the death was due to heart failure.  The deceased, who is 67 years of age, was missed by her husband and son the previous evening and as it was surmised that she had walked to the house of another son who resided about 500 yards away, a search was made, but it was only after daylight that the body was found.  Investigations showed that deceased fell in the footpath on which she was walking, but as there is a steep incline the body rolled some distance away and that was why it was not found in the dark.

When the police arrived a few minutes later they found the hatless and bootless body of KOOY lying, with his skull and part of his face blown away, below the window of the dining room in a lane outside the house.

Johannesburg Youth Killed
A youth named Walter INNS of Johannesburg was killed instantly recently when he was run over by a motor lorry in High Street, Brixton.  INNS was riding a bicycle and hanging with one hand to the side of a motor lorry climbing a hill.  At the corner of High Street and Ripley Road he lost control of his bicycle, which slipped underneath him.  He fell to the ground.  Following on behind him, a motor lorry, driven by a European and loaded with bricks, could not be stopped in time to avert an accident, and the front wheels passed over INN’s head.

Death of Dr. A. WEAKLEY
Queenstown lost another old and esteemed resident yesterday with the passing of Dr. A. WEAKLEY, who died at his residence in Zeiler Street about 12.30 p.m. as a result of a heart attack.  Deceased, who was about 80 years of age, has been in Queenstown for nearly forty years.  He was predeceased by his wife some years ago, and has himself been in poor health for a considerable time.
For well nigh quarter of a century Dr. WEAKLEY has been medical officer for the Native Recruiting Corporation for this area, and thus many, many thousands of natives bound for the Rand Mines have passed through his hands.  He was on duty as usual at the local office the day before he died.  There are still many who remember Dr. WEAKLEY in his palmy days on the football field and tennis court.  Sturdily built, and very muscular, the Doctor first played rugger then soccer football, and was centre half-back in the Caledonian team of 1900-1905, when for two seasons the team was undefeated.  Dr. WEAKLY did much to gather the young people around him, and encouraged all to go in for healthy sport.
While he was Railway Medical Officer, prior to becoming associated with the Native Recruiting Corporation, he had an extensive private practice in Queenstown, and was particularly noted for his skill with children.  During recent years he has lived a very retired life, and devoted much time to reading.  To his family the sympathy of all will go out in their bereavement.

Fatal Collision of Pillion Rider
The storm and rain on the Johannesburg road on Saturday night caused a fatality.  J.S. ROETS, a European, of Dalys Farm, Muckleneuk, Pretoria, who was riding pillion on a motorcycle, receiving fatal injuries when the cycle skidded in the path of an oncoming car, states the Cape Times.  It is understood that the driver of the cycle attempted to pass a car proceeding in the same direction.  The visibility was extremely bad and he failed to observe an oncoming car until it was dangerously close.  When the driver of the cycle attempted to swerve out of the way, the machine skidded and ROETS was thrown directly in the path of the oncoming car which passed over him.  Fortunately, the skidding cycle carried the driver out of danger.  ROETS received such severe injuries that he died half an hour after admission to hospital.

Death of a Cyclist
The story of how a young man who was riding a bicycle and holding on to the back of a lorry let go his grip and was knocked down and killed by another lorry from behind, was told to Mr. M.R. HARTOGH at the Johannesburg Inquest Court recently, when an inquest was held on Norman LE SUER, known as Walter Leslie INGS, aged 16, of stand 1219, Second Street, Albertskroon.  Ben THALA said that on the morning of October 20 he was on a motor lorry following behind.  Before they came to the top of the Brixton Hill a European and a native, both on bicycles, were holding on to the rear corners of the lorry.  They were told not to do this, but the European did not release his hold.  “When we got near Ripley Road the lorry travelling behind came nearer ours, and the driver blew his hooter and swerved slightly to his right to overtake us.  At the same time the European who was riding the bicycle and holding on to our lorry looked round, let go of our lorry, swerved to his right immediately in front of the other lorry.  The driver of the vehicle swerved further to his right to avoid an accident, but the front part of the lorry came in contact with the right side of the cyclist.  He was thrown to the ground and the lorry went over him.  He died a few minutes later.”  Mr. HARTOGH returned a verdict of accidental death due to crushed head, caused by being knocked down by a motor lorry.€

The Late Mr. W.M. JACKSON
There passed away recently in East London, Mr. W.M. JACKSON, who for many years in the late seventies and early eighties of last century was on the staff of Queen’s College.  In those days almost the only form of sport (if it may be called sport) under the supervision of the teaching staff, was the cadet corps and rifle shoting.  The late Mr. JACKSON was one of the first teacher-officers in this department and under his capable tuition a team of first class marksmen was built up, in spite of the antiquated rifles used and the resultant bruised shoulders and stiff arms.  In 1881 the team was successful in winning the Cadet Shooting Cup.  From Queenstown Mr. JACKSON went to Tarkastad as principal, and later took up the position of head of the West Bank school, East London, which position he held until his retirement  in 1914. (Daily Dispatch).

The news of Mr. J.S. BEVINGTON’s tragic death yesterday, came as a shock to everyone in Indwe.  Mr. BEVINGTON, who was a progressive farmer, sold his farm, Overton, after he had been staying in the district for a good number of years, and was waiting for the school inspection, after which he intended to leave for East London where he had decided to make his new home.
Lately he suffered from a weak stomach and his nerves were in a critical condition, which more than anything else accounts for his tragic deed.
We wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy with Mrs. BEVINGTON, Ivor and Phyllis.

“Accidental death by drowning” was the verdict.
