  EP Herald, 23 Aug 1982 Herald Correspondent Port Alfred - Messages of congratulations and good wishes have been pouring in for Mrs. Gladys Mitford Pringle COLLETT who celebrates her 100th birthday at Damant Lodge, Port Alfred's home for the aged today. Mrs. COLLETT is a granddaughter of the 1820 Settler, John Mitford BOWKER and was born in the Grahamstown district on August 23, 1882. At an early age her parents trekked to Middelburg, Eastern Cape district where the BOWKER family has remained ever since. Mrs. COLLETT later married Mr. John COLLETT who farmed near the Fish River in the Cradock district and had seven children. Two parties were arranged for Mrs. COLLETT. The first, due to take place yesterday was cancelled due to "slight illness". The party was due to be attended by close COLLETT and BOWKER relatives including her 95 year-old sister, Mrs. Vera COSTER. More than 100 gusts have been invited to a tea party at the lodge this afternoon where the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress, Mr. & Mrs. Dereck KINGSLEY-JONES will convey the congratulations of the Council and the residents of Port Alfred to Mrs. COLLETT. At the gathering will be Mr. COMYN, a grandson, who will read message from the State President and from the Minister of Posts & Telecommunications, Dr. MUNNIK.
