• Notes

  MOOC 6/9/144 9635, Death notice: Condition in life "Bad circumstances, and extremely bad health", died on the erf belonging to Rev I. Dorrington, Left sundry household furniture Rodo: A descendant of the Parrott / Bovey line who lives in Fort Beaufort is Mrs Doris Rau. Her mother was Mary, daughter of John and Elizabeth Bovey, who married Herbert Mildenhall. Dr William Parrott was therefore Mrs Rau's great great grandfather. Mrs Rau says that, according to family memories, her grandfather John Bovey caught a chill after crossing a river, and this caused his death in 1873 when he was still a young Man of 37. He died in the home of the Rev and Mrs John Dorrington, which is probably the house owned and occupied now, in Church Street, by Mr and Mrs A T Matthew. Saturday, March 9, 1861 ... MARRIED, on the 7th instant, at St. John’s Church, by the Rev. T. HENCHMAN, Mr. John BOVEY, of Blinkwater, to Elizabeth Margaret, Daughter of Mr. W. MUGGLETON, of this place. Fort Beaufort, March 8, 1861. Saturday, August 23, 1873. DIED. – At Fort Beaufort, on Sunday, August 17, 1873, John William BOVEY, aged 35 years and 11 months, leaving a widow and five children to mourn their irreparable loss. Mrs. BOVEY wishes to tender her sincere thanks to Dr. PALMER, Messrs. BEGBIE, R. LAWRIE, J. RICHARDS and the inhabitants generally for their kind assistance and sympathy in her bereavement. MISCELLANEOUS. On Sunday morning Mr. J.W. BOVEY, eldest son of the late R. BOVEY, Esq. died at his residence in town. Deceased had been suffering for a long time from asphyxia, to which complaint he succumbed on Sunday. Death was no doubt, hastened by the severe shock the system received in consequence of an accident some short time since, when deceased was crushed by several bales of wool on which he had been laying when his wagon capsized. The greatest sympathy has been manifested throughout the town for the wife and family of the deceased.
