BEDFORD CHIT CHAT
The holiday season was not happy for everyone for there have been no fewer than three deaths lately.
Mrs. Elsie HOPE passed away in hospital. She was admitted suffering from double pneumonia. She died on December 19 at the age of seventy-six. Two years ago she had a massive stroke, from which she never recovered.
Not many folk knew the HOPEs, who came from Zimbabwe, where they had lived for 45 years, going there from Manchester, England. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Chris BEAUMONT, and Mrs. HOPE was cremated in Port Elizabeth. She is survived by her husband, three children and nine grandchildren. All have our sincere sympathy, especially Mr. HOPE, who has trouble with his eyes.

A well-known lady, Mrs. Amy van DYK, popularly known as ‘Miss Amy’ WILLIAMS, also passed away in hospital, after a very long illness, on Tuesday. 7 January. She was 79 years and ten months old. Miss Amy was born in Aliwal North, but the family moved to Bedford where her father had a shop. After first working in a shop in Grahamstown, Miss Amy worked in her father’s business. Her funeral was conducted in the Presbyterian Church on Saturday 11 January, by the Rev. Kevin SPARROW, of Adelaide. She is survived by a sister, nephew and niece and two sisters-in-law.

Amy is in 1905 gebore en het saam met haar ouers 1908 na Bedford gekom. Haar vader het die beroemde S.G. WILLIAMS winkel hier geopen. Hy het direk ingevoer en sy winkel kon vergelyk word met enige van die groot winkels soos Garlicks en Morums.Amy het vir baie jare daar gewerk en baie sal haar onthou as die vriendlike hulpvaardige dametjie agter die toonbank. Na haar vader se dood, is Amy met Joe van DYK, ‘n afgetrede poskantoor beampte getroud, ‘n Wewenaar. Vir .n goeie klompie jare was hulle in die Commercial Hotel woonagtig, waar haar bejaarde moeder ook ‘n kamer gehad het. Na ‘n tyd is Joe na Mafeking om een van sy seuns daar in besigheid by te staan. Amy het geweier om hom daarheen te volg as gevolg van swak gesondheid. Amy het later haar intrek in die Bedford Hotel geneem waar sy haar kamer tot die einde behou het. Na ‘n paar ligte berperte aanvalle het sy dit moelik gevind om langer in die hotel aan te bly en is in die plaaslike hospital opgeneem. Tenspyte van haar siekte was Amy altyd vriendlik, opgeruimd met ‘n glimlag in haar blou oȅ. In haar jong dae kon sy pragtig kuns naaldwerk doen, maar moes dit later laat vaar en kon met haar dae omkry met lees. Die laaste dag van haar lewe het ‘n liefdevolle vriendin Joyce MANSELL, by haar deurige-bering tot die einde toe. Haar suster, Vera MILROY, het te laat gekom maar kon darem die teraardebestelling bywoon

All were shocked to hear of the death of Canon KING on the evening of January 5. He had a heart attack on the Sunday morning and was taken to hospital, where he died that evening. His funeral took place on Tuesday 7 January. It was conducted by Bishop ORAM, assisted by the Rev. BEAUMONT. Canon KING had founded St. Edmonds Church in the Black Township and the members stood outside the church and sang. The Church was full of mourners, so the Black Ladies Guild sat in the choir stalls. Canon KING is survived by his wife, four sons and a daughter. Only the day before his death he had been to the Hogsback to conduct the marriage service of one of his sons. The Friday before his death he finished a book he was compiling on the history of the church in Bedford. Canon KING was popular in the area and will be sorely missed. He had a keen interest in the history of the country and was an active member of the Historical Society who will miss him sorely. We offer the family our deepest sympathy.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Alex PRINGLE, on the birth of a daughter on Friday January 9. They already have two sons. Barry is out of hospital and staying at her mother’s home in Port Elizabeth. The baby is still in hospital but is doing satisfactorily. We hope the family will soon be re-united in their own home.

Miss Gwen EDWARDS celebrated her 90th birthday on Monday, 20 January. A number of friends were present at the morning tea party held for her in the lounge of the Retirement Village. Everyone enjoyed the happy occasion.

Bedford is beroemd vir sy uithang verjaarsdag partytjies waar vriende van heinde en ver gesellig bymekaar kom vir tee en heerlike verversings. So’n partytjie was Sondag 18 Desember na kerk by Bettie van der VYVER te Durbanstraat. Hartik geluk aan haar en naan Miena TALJAARD, wat Donderdag, 24 Januarie weer haar verjaarsdag op ewe gesellige wyse gevier het.

FORT BEAUFORT

December ended very sadly in Fort Beaufort as hearts went out to the well-known MALAN family, after the tragic flying accident at Kleinmond, which claimed the lives of Mr. David MALAN, his son from Bloemfontein and his granddaughter. Their families have all been in our thoughts and prayers and it was with special joy that we heard of the birth in Fort Beaufort last month of the little son of Daniel and Retha MALAN.

Last month Fort Beaufort was again left shocked and saddened at the news of the [callous] murder of Mr. BROWN. Whose wife was left injured [after] the attack. The BROWNs are an elderly retired couple, who had moved to Fort Beaufort from Balfour some months previously. Prompt police action resulted in arrests a short while after the brutal crime.

Another very happy party last weekend was held at the home of ‘Tommy’ and Jean THOMAS, the occasion being the 21st birthday of their younger son, Alan, a student at UPE. About 50 friends came from around the district as well as Port Elizabeth and East London to join the happy get together and the toast to Alan was proposed by his uncle, Mr. Andy STUART, the well-known former owner of Gonzana Farm in the Kat Valley, who now farms near Bedford.

Belated but very good wishes go to Marianne, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P.R. van RENSBURG, who recently announced her engagement to Anthony NIELSON. The young couple are both teachers, Anthony in Oudtshoorn and Marianne in Mossel Bay. The father of the bride to be is “Van” whose popular gym has helped a number of people in and around Fort Beaufort on the road to physical fitness. Requests to join the gym classes pour in, but he is still using his garage, since having to move from his previous premises a year or so ago, which means that he is only able to accept limited numbers. It would be wonderful if some kind owner of any vacant shop in town would offer his premises to be used for the gym to help ‘Van’ to enlarge on this marvelous service which he so generously gives to the community.

FORT BEAUFORT

It was with sorrow that we heard of the death of well known Mr. Gert de LANGE, who passed away very suddenly after a heart attack on the morning of February 12. Mr. de LANGE had lived in Fort BEAUFORT for the past 37 years and was very much part of the community. He married Miss Nancy VICE in 1952 and they have three children. Their daughter, Mrs Denise BOTTCHER, is on the staff of our Post Office. Nola their second daughter is a nursing sister on the staff of the Provincial Hospital in Port Elizabeth, and their son Philip, is a member of the SAP, stationed in Port Elizabeth. The de LANGEs have three grandchildren. Mr. de Lange was on the staff of the Smaldeel Divisional Council, where he had worked for a number of years. His funeral, held in the NG Kerk, Fort Beaufort, on Feb 14, was attended by relatives and friends from near and far, including his sister from Bronkhorstspruit, his brother and wife who had travelled from Kimberley, and his nephew from Port Elizabeth. We extend to his widow, Nancy, and their family, our sincere sympathy on the loss of their much loved husband and father and we share their sorrow at this sad time.

Hearts were sad with the news of the death last week of Mrs. BROWN, who died peacefully on 11 February in the Provincial Hospital, Fort Beaufort, where she had been a patient since the brutal attack in her home on 16 January, in which her husband was murdered. Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with the case and will appear in court later this month.

OBITUARY
Miss Daphne BEYERS
Somerset East.
Friends of the BEYERS family will be sad to hear that Daphne BEYERS passed away in Cape Town on Monday 24 February. Her health had deteriorated lately and she was a patient in the Victoria Hospital, Wynberg. Daphne was the only daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. J.M. BEYERS. DR. BEYERS practiced in Somerset East for many years and his wife was a sister of Mrs. COETZEE wife of Dr. COETZEE, another local doctor at that time. A third sister was Mrs. AURET wife of Mr. C.S. AURET (an attorney and former Mayor of our town) Their maiden name was LANE and their mother was a member of one of the branches of Somerset’s NEL family. Dr. Andries VOSLOO was in partnership with DR. BEYERS from the time Dr. VOSLOO came to Somerset as a young doctor, until the death of Dr. BEYERS. (His patients will remember that he always had a photograph of Dr. BEYERS in his consulting room.) Daphne worked as an assistant nurse in the old Hospital in Somerset East and also spent a few years in London, where she worked in a florist shop, while Miss Leone HOFMEYR, who accompanied her overseas, held a teaching post in London. All who knew Daphne associate her with the flowers she loved so much. She had a charming garden here and also in Cape Town where she went to live after her mother’s death. She could arrange flowers beautifully. She was a lovely person and will be affectionately remembered. One of her brothers predeceased her but she leaves the other, who is also a doctor, in the Cape.

Baie geluk aan mnr.en mev. Barend NEL, wat Saterdag 22 Maart, hul 54ste huweliks gedenking geviȅr het.

Met die heengaan van mnr. Daantjie DELPORT, 63 jaar, is nog ‘n skakel met ou-Adelaide verbreek en die opsig dat hy sy lewe lank in diens van die plaaslike Munisipaliteit was. ‘n Paar jaar gelede het hy ‘n groentewinkel probeer maar het dit gelos omdat die droogte te veel groente-boere laat tou opgooi het, en is weer terug na die Munisipaliteit. Hy was een van ‘n groot familie en laat ‘n paar susters, sy eggenote en seun agter om hom te betreur. Ons innige meergevoel met die families.
