Notes |
- Contributed by his son Victor
Arthur Douglas Sephton was born on 28/7/1919 to Victor and Verna of the farm Woodcliff in the Maclear district.He grew up with his two brothers Charles and Aubrey and attended the farm school at Woodcliff until the age of eight when he was sent to Kingswood in Grahamstown.
Thereafter he spent a few years farming, first in Namibia and later in Maclear. He joined the Natal Mounted Rifles Regiment and saw action in North Africa. After the war he farmed at Glen Grieve for his father and on 25/1/1944 he married Eliza Jordaan whose father farmed in the Ugie district.
In 1946 he bought the farm Henderson in Maclear district and set about turning it into one of the most sought after farms in the district. He progressed well and soon bought more farms in Maclear and Barkly East districts.
He and Eliza had three children, Victor born 3/5/1945, Rosalie born 8/5/1947, and Yvonne born 16/5/1950, all of whom were sent to boarding schools. Douglas was a keen gymkhana rider and cricketer and participated in the sports for many years.He was also very involved in the management of the local Co-Op where he served as managing director for several years. In 1970 he was made a Justice of the Peace. In 1975 he and Eliza moved to the farm Merino Hoek in Barkly East in order that his son could farm Henderson. Soon afterwards he developed heart disease and became too ill to farm, so he moved back to Maclear to retire and eventually died there on 4/1/1983 aged 63 years.
