FORT BEAUFORT

There was a beautiful wedding in town on 29 March when Karina de LANGE married Kevin de GROOT of Port Elizabeth, with the service being held in the NG Kerk, followed by a reception at the Town Hall. As Mr. and Mrs. de LANGE, parents of the bride, had sadly passed away some months ago, much of the work in organizing the wedding was undertaken by Mrs. Ria du PREEZ, the bride’s older sister, who, with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Bokkie de LANGE, also did all the catering. The lovely bride was escorted to the altar by her eldest brother, Francois, who had travelled from Durban to be with his sister on her special day. For the de LANGE family, despite the loss of their parents, it was a wonderfully happy get together, as the rest of the family all travelled to Fort Beaufort for the wedding. Pink and white was the charming colour scheme and the bride was attended by one bridesmaid, [Madeline] SCHELLINGHOUT, and a delightful confetti boy and girl. About 200 guests shared the happy day, including the bridegroom’s parents from Port Elizabeth, and various other members of his family. The beautiful cake was the work of Mrs. Annalies LUTTIG of Adelaide and the pink and white colour scheme was carried through to the flowers, those in the church and the Town Hall having been done by Mrs. Cindy de LANGE, whilst the bridal bouquets were the work of Mrs. Ria du PREEZ. Our very good wishes to the young couple, who have now [settled] in Port Elizabeth.

Last Saturday, 12 Apr, was very special day in the MILLAD home, when Patricia, only daughter of Tony and June, married Marius BARKHUIZEN. There will be a report of the wedding in next week’s newspaper

On the same day as Patricia’s wedding, Edgar BROTHERTON, only son of […] and Jeanette. of Post Retief, was married in Grahamstown to Linda BIRCH, daughter of Ted and […..], who are well known farmers in that district. About 500 guests attended a beautiful wedding, which was held in Kingswood Chapel, with the reception following on the Birch farm.

Belated birthday greetings to Deon, son of W.O. van ROOYEN, who celebrated his 21st birthday last Friday night with a very happy party, which was attended by many members of his family and friends

Another 21st this month was that of Clive RAAD, who turned 21 on 1 April and celebrated the occasion far from home on Coolmore Stud Co, Tipperary, in Ireland, where he is working for a few months before returning to South Africa in July.

Our belated congratulations to the RUDMANS on the birth of their little son in Fort Beaufort, a grandson for Mr. and Mrs. Trevor WHITCROSS

TRIBUTE TO MR. JACK MIDGLEY
To Mrs. Olive MIDGLEY and Family
I came to Adelaide from Cape Town in 1948 to start an electrical business. I received good support and very soon I neede extra cash to buy materials for work. I asked the bank and several ‘moneyed’ people but was refused. Jack MIDGLEY lent me the two hundred pounds (R400) cash. With those small beginings, I worked and with help of the Good Lord, my wife, our children and our staff, we built up a business with 17 furniture stores in the Eastern Cape, Border, NE Cape, Ciskei and Trankei, worth quite a bit.Thank you Jack MIDGLEY for helping me to get a start in life, to you, Olive, and the family. I shall always cherish the memory of Jack. I hope this little tribute will help to ease the loss of a man, who possibly in a strange way, did a great deal of good.

FORT BEAUFORT

About 250 members of family and friends gathered for the beautiful wedding of Patricia, lovely daughter of Tony and June MILLAD of Fort Beaufort, who was married on Apr 12 to Marius BARKHUIZEN, whose parents live in Port Elizabeth. The service was held in St Michaels Roman Catholic Church and followed by a very happy reception in the Fort Beaufort Town Hall. The lovely bride wore a long sleeved dress of white slipper satin, with a lace covered bodice. An elegant feature was the beautiful large bow at the back of her waist. Her bouffant veil was held in place with a dainty floral headdress and she carried a white bouquet, She was attended by her bridesmaid, Carina KLOPPER, whose deep pink satin dress was cut on the same lines as the bride’s and also by two delightful confetti girls Beryl ADAMI and Cathy MILLAD. The Bestman was Douglas McLEOD. The bride’s mother, June, was extremely elegant in a deep blue long waisted silk dress and the bridegroom‘s mother looked charming in an attractive cerise outfit with a pleated skirt. Pink and white was the colour scheme chosen and the church and Town Hall had been transformed for the happy occasion by the outstanding floral arrangements of proteas, roses, carnations and chrysanthenums, all done by Margaret BRADY. Friends and family had come from all over the country including many centres in the Eastern Cape as well as Fort Beaufort where the bride grew up and attended the Fort Beaufort High School before continuing her studies at UPE. Mr. Piet NIENABER was Master of Ceremonies at the happy reception, where Hilton TIDBURY was at the piano, accompanied by Jan NIEL, provided the music. [sic] An omnibus toast was proposed by Mr. Wykie van der VYVER and Clive HAYWARD proposed a toast to the Bridesmaids and confetti girls. The superb cathering was the work of Deanne’s Hotel and the beautiful two tier wedding cake had been baked by the bride’s mother June, and iced by Mrs. Phyllis BOTHA. Patricia changed later into a striking turquoise satin trouser suit, with white accessories. After their honeymoon the young couple will make their home near Hanover in the Karroo.

Among the guests at the wedding of Linda BIRCH and Edgar BROTHERTON, which was also held on 12 April, were well known ex Fort Beautort residents, Heidi and Siegfried STAMPA, who spent the weekend with John and Shirley SPARKS of Leeufontein.

FORT BEAUFORT

We learnt with sorrow of the death of Mr. PARKER of Molesworth Street, on Sunday 8 June after a long illness. Mr. PARKER has been one of our municipal ambulance drivers and was very well liked and respected by all who knew him. During the course of his work he had also made friends amongst all sections of the Fort Beaufort hospital and a large number of hospital staff were among those who attended his funeral to pay tribute to this fine and courageous man. A keen sportsman until he became ill, Mr. PARKER was an active member of the golf club and had also won the Fort Beaufort snooker championships twice. He had also served on the local Red Cross Committee. He leaves his wife, Louise, and adult children. They are in our thoughts during this sad time.

Our very good wishes are with Louis LOUZADO and Kathy ERASMUS, who were married in Fort Beaufort Presbyterian Church on June 18.

We congratulate Rhett and Linda MANHEIM on the birth last week of their first child, a bonny son, whom they have named Kyle Johann.

Our thoughts are with the de LANGEs who recently suffered a family tragedy with the very sudden death in Brazil of Mrs. Baby KOTZE of Welkom, the sister of Nancy’s late husband, Mr. Gert de LANGE. Baby and her husband were on an overseas holiday and were in Brazil when she was suddenly taken ill. An examination showed that although she had not suffered previous symptoms, her condition was extremely serious, and she died in a Brazilian hospital last week – very shortly after her illness was diagnosed. A memorial service is being held for her in Welkom, on Saturday

MOOI TROUE OP BEDFORD
[Note that the English report below differs]
Donderdag 21 Junie 1986 sal altos as ‘n baie gelukkige dag in die lewens van PAGEL en ELS gesinne onthou word. Catherine, enigste dogter van wyle Bokkie en Anna PAGEL, is in die NG-Kerk op Bedford met Craig, jongste seun van wyle Christiaan en Suzi ELS, getroud. Aangesien mev. Anna PAGEL so ver op Swakopmund werksaam is, het Ouma Bessie PAGEL besluit om die huweliksreȅling vir haar kleindogter op Bedford te tref, aangesien Anna nie teenwoordig kon wees nie. Dit was ‘n bittere koue dag met die sonnetjie wat net af en toe so skrams deur die donker koue wolke geloȅr het, en die wind van die Kapokberge het die gaste skraal laat staan, maar tog nie verhinder onthaal by te woon nie. Die stadsaal was ongelooflik mooi getooi en die groot pienk en blou ruiker in die kerk, asook die bruids en strooimeisie ruikers was die handewerk van mev. Ola van NIEKERK. Die bruid se broer, Deon PAGEL, het haar in die kerk ingebring en die ander broer, Edwin PAGEL was die strooijonker.
Die vallertjie bruid het pragtig gelyk in haar 9 lae kant valle oor ‘n hoeper onderrok, ‘n vallertjie om die nek asook om die kort pofmoutjies. ‘n Kort net sluiertjie het agter haar kop afgehang en was geheg aan ‘n pêrel en lemoen-bloeisel bandjie om haar kop. Charmain LOTTERING in ‘n kort pienk kolletjie het oor pienk satyn rokklei met groot strik van agter het baie mooi gelyk met net ‘n pienk roos in haar ligte hare. Sy het die bruid bygestaan as strooimeisie. Mev. Bessie PAGEL het voorsorg getref teen die koue met haar pels jakkie en almal het haar beny. Haar broer, mnr. J. BERNARD van Cradock het haar bygestaan en langs haar het die bruidegom se moeder gesit, was dertig in haar donker baadjie pak met pienk skouerruikertjie. Ds Alwyn BURGER het die paartjies besonderlik mooi getrou, waarna al die gaste na die onthaal in die stadsraad gegaan het. Shamanje was bedien vir die heildonke en heerlike veversings op die tafels. Die Bouwer-orkes van Cradock het die gaste heelaand trakteer en die jongklomp tot 12 uur op hulle voete gehou. Die seriemoniermeester was Dereck WEBSTER en Christo ELS, broer van die bruidegom het die heildronk op die bruidspaar en sy moeder ingestel. Edwin PAGEL het die heildronke op sy ouma Bessie ingestel. Die bruidegom het die bdankings gedoen. Cathy het in ‘n pienk uitrusting gaan verklee voordat hulle na Cradock vertrek het. Die bruigegom het min tyd vir die wittebrood want hy vertrek weer op 2 Julie vir sy weermagdiens. Dit was ‘n baie geslaagde troue. ‘n Kroeg was in die voorportaal ingerig waar die gaste hullself kon gaan help en het beslis aftrek gekry om die koue te verdryf en om te help om die onthaal so geselig as moontlik te laar verloop

Saturday was the occasion of a very colourful wedding. The bride was Noleen daughter of the late Bokkie PAGEL and his wife Anna. The bridegroom was Craig ELS, son of Suzy and the late Christiaan ELS.
Unfortunately Anna was unable to leave South West Africa to be at her daughter’s wedding as she has a bad leg which needs daily medical attention, but Noleen’s well-known grandmother, Mrs. PAGEL, acted in ‘locum parentis’ The service was performed in the Dutch Reformed Church by Ds. BURGER at 4:39pm followed by a reception for over two hundred guests in the Town Hall.The bridal pair left on their honeymoon before the reception was over. Craig who works on the telephone exchange in Cookhouse, has to report, for military service at the end of the month. We wish the newly wed couple a very happy life together and the best of health.
