• Notes

  OBITUARY THE LATE MRS. R.J.POTE OF HOPEWELL Mr. and Mrs. David HALL, her parents, came out with the British settlers of 1820 and were located [...] with the Salem Party. She was born there on February 14 1823. The family after a while moved to Grahamstown. Her father carried on the Kafir trade at Fort Wiltshire till his death, while Mrs. HALL with the family remained in town. Miss HALL married R.J. POTE in January 18[39], when they removed to Daggaboer, and after a while from there to Kaga, and thence to the district of Uitenhage, where they remained till the Kafir war of 1850. They then removed to the district of Somerset East, where they have continued to dwell till her death, which occurred in June last, after fifty-five years and five months of married life. To mourn her loss she leaves three sons and three daughters, together with thirty six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. She was a faithful and loving wife, an affectionate mother and a kind friend, and ready to care for the poor and the wanderers, many of whom will bless her memory. Mrs. HALL [sic] was a sincere Christian, and for thirty years a member of the Wesleyan Church, and was careful to bring up her family in the ways of godliness and morality. Her bereaved husband has the consolation of looking forward to rejoin her ere long in that blissful immortality, of which a line of her favourite hymn ”A country far from mortal sight” so confidently speaks.
