18. Antoinette E Weeber [996] (Marthinus Johannes⁶, Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹) was born about 1835.

• Occupation: Abt 1868, Stellenbosch. He was an artist in Stellenbosch, a chemist, photographer and Councillor

Catharina married William John Kinnear [2280] [MRIN: 836], son of William John Kinnear [82] and Johanna Sophia Carolina Itzen [2275], on 15 Apr 1862 in Beaufort West South Africa. William was born on 13 Oct 1834 in Beaufort West, was christened on 19 Oct 1834 in Beaufort West, and died on 16 Jun 1912 in Berg Street, Pochefstroom, Transvaal, South Africa at age 77.

+ 48 M i. William John Kinnear [82] was born on 27 Feb 1807 in Stonehaven, England and died on 21 Jan 1872 in Beaufort West South Africa at age 64.

20. Matthys Johannes Weeber [1001] (Marthinus Johannes⁶, Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹) was born in Feb 1843 in Beaufort West South Africa and died on 31 Oct 1932 in 49 Donkin St. Beaufort West South Africa at age 89. Other names for Matthys were Mathew Weeber, and Mathew J. Weeber.

• Alt Birth: ⁵ ^,6 The Headstone on his grave in Beaufort West shows different information. It records his death on 21 Oct 1932 Aged 84 which also gives a different birth year of 1848 instead of 1843. In the Municipal graveyard records for the Blyth St. N/W cemetery, there are 2 M.J.Weeber's recorded in adjacent graves, RY-F9 dated 31 Oct '32 and F10 dated 5 Sep '33. The second must refer to his spouse (who has the same initials) although she is recorded as having died in Cape Town.

• Historical: Beaufort West. ⁹ Matthys Johannes Weeber was born and grew up in the Karoo town of Beaufort West. He had one brother Pieter and at least four sisters. Like most of the youngsters of that time he received little formal education when compared with the standard today and directed his life toward farming at an early age. Beaufort West had established itself as an ideal sheep farming area and this was obviously the intended activity of most of the young folk - especially when their parents were also involved in sheep farming as Matthys's were.He was a simple man with basic needs who was always ready to help his neighbour but must have had good business sense and obviously worked very hard - because he became an affluent farmer with a total farm area of approximately sixty thousand morgen ( approx. 51000 hectares - or two hundred square miles) - an area so vast that one could not cross it in one day on horseback.
Although originally of German stock the Weebers spoke English and Afrikaans at home. They belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church and were staunch supporters of the United Party. In fact Matthys's brother Pieter decided to go into politics and became a senator in the South African Parliament at which time Matthys bought his farm Sunnyside - which is owned by the Nel Family today. Pieter married but had no children of his own. He adopted a daughter Jessie Verster who was known by my family as cousin Jessie. Matthys married a miss Aspeling and lived on the farm Elandsfontein where they raised seven children - Eric, Carrie, Lulu, Percy, Evelyn and Martin..After his first wife had passed away, Matthys married Maggie (Magriet) a teacher from the Riversdale district - who was approximately thirty years younger than he. She was a Du Preez and her brother Wouter farmed in the area - his farm "Windsor" is on the road to Stillbaai soon after the turnoff from the national road.The twins Olga and Alma were born of this marriage and they too lived on the farm Elandsfontein..Apparently there was a certain amount of rivalry between the two sets of children with the first seven claiming that the twins were receiving special attention. For this reason the twins were sent to school at Worcester and not to the "posh" schools in Cape Town where the seven had been educated.After matriculating at Worcester both Olga and Alma went to Teachers Training College in Cape Town where they qualified as teachers. Olga specialised in physical education.Matthys died in 1932 at the age of 89 years - and Maggie died one year later in 1933 at the age of sixty. Both are buried in the cemetery at Beaufort West..Some Anecdotes In his kindness apparently Matthys signed surety for a certain Mr Bailey who farmed in the Beaufort area. While the family were on holiday at the Strand the fun was cut short by the news that Bailey had died and that the surety was being called. It's not sure what the amount of the surety was but it did not bother Matthys. That was the sort of person he was - if he could help he would - and he did not expect a return.When the twins were seven years old the family moved into town permanently as Matthys was becoming too old to farm actively. He actually tried to sell off the farms, but money was scarce and he was obliged to let some. Those he did sell he was obliged to leave large bonds on.In the town house Olga and Alma have memories of "the men" sitting in the smoking room of an evening after supper. One of the regular visitors was a certain Mr or Reverend Barnard, a missionary from the "Sendeling Kerk" - whose sons Chris and Marius were to achieve fame as heart surgeons with Chris performing the world's first heart transplant. Apparently Matthys provided some of the money for one of the brother's university education and the Weebers - who were quite well off, often sent over vegetables and goodies to the Barnards who, like most missionaries, struggled for money. Many years later when Olga and Eddie left Beaufort West Chris Barnard played the piano in the band at their farewell party.
The Riversdale connection was obviously well maintained, as Olga and Alma have many fond memories of visits to the seaside at Stillbaai - the resort closest to Riversdale. The journey took two days and was undertaken on oxwagon. At the halfway point they had to outspan and sleep over in the veld. This was always quite an event with the braai fires burning and everyone getting geared up for the holiday at the seaside. When they reached the river mouth the party had to be ferried across the river to Stillbaai where they stayed in a cottage belonging to the Wege family - very good friends of Maggie's. Stories are told of "streepsakke" full of oysters for a penny and of feeding the eels at the "paling gat" which is still an attraction today and, I think a national monument. This "paling gat" is a well of fresh water which flows from the hillside, close to where the Versveld family home stood, and in which the eels lived.
The famous South African artist Jan Volschenk was an associate of the family in the area. In fact Olga and Eddie owned a Jan Volschenk painting of the Kaffirkuils river mouth (the river at Stillbaai) - which was given to them as a wedding gift. Cousin Jessie was a close friend of Vera Volschenk (his daughter) who is also well known and paints from her cottage on the banks of the river at Stillbaai. Olga and Eddie owned several Vera Volschenks which were passed on to the children.The family owned a holiday house in the Strand. It actually belonged to Maggie and she left it to Olga and Alma when she died. They did not want it and sold it. The house still stands today.Like all young men of his time Matthys journeyed to the diamond diggings in Kimberley when the first fever was high - as stories were leaving the district of fabulous wealth and good times - which were generally not available elsewhere at the time. He worked a claim for some time but without much success - and eventually sold it to the next keen arrival who promptly found an enormous diamond the very next day. The new owner was so pleased with his acquisition that he was prompted to give Matthys a gold watch out of gratitude. What a consolation. (I inherited the watch from Olga - and still have it in my possession). After selling the claim Matthys returned to Beaufort West to pursue the life he knew best - sheep farming.Building up the farms was no easy task in those days. There was very little mechanisation and no fencing to keep out the jackals. Apparently Matthys was extremely dedicated and hard working in this regard. He travelled on horseback and built kraals for the sheep by stacking stones. Because of the vast distances he had to travel he was often not able to return home at night and slept out in the open with his sheep, under the stars. In the Karoo where the nights can be bitterly cold this could become quite an arduous experience. He recalled that he often slept with a wheelbarrow covering his head to keep out the cold.
After his death Matthys's attorney, a Mr Theron, arranged for the winding up of the estate. All the farms were sold through the Board Of Executors for around ten shillings a morgen - this being the time of the great depression. It has been claimed that in the settling of his affairs many of the bonds were never paid out and that the estate ended up considerably short of its real value.

• Historical: ² Information from Alwyn Smit resulted in the following exchanges:-
"Alwyn, Do I understand it correctly that c1 Christiaan Dettlief Pieter Ol(de)wage, bought an erf from (of?) Marthys Johannes Weeber for 250 pounds sterling?"
"I am not sure that I have sent you an answer on this one!!! (?) Yes, you are correct! Christiaan bought the erf from Matthys Johannes de Jager. Most probably Matthys junior."

• Death: KAB MOOC 6/9/4180ef 35899 gives 39 Donkin St. Beaufort West as the residence where Matthys died.

• Will: In his will, DN KAB MOOC 6/9/4180 Ref 35899, Matthys made the following bequests:- Margaretha Jacomina Du Preez (His 2nd wife) £1500
Percival, his 5th child of his 1st marriage £60 per annum for maintenance
Maria Carolina the 2nd child of his 1st marriage, £90 per annum to maintain
And the residue of his estate to be equally divided between the rest of his children excepting Martin Gustaf , his 3rd child of his 1st marriage who "left South Africa many years ago and believed now to be in South America" The rest were Alma (Van Wyk) and Olga, Evelyn Marguerite (Welsch), Catherine Agnis (Jackson) Johan Eric Aspeling, and George. In George's case, £3500 was to be deducted in consideration of sums expended for his studies and advances made to him from time to time.

Matthys married Georgina Agnes Aspeling [3503] [MRIN: 1291], daughter of Johan Eric Aspeling [3506] and Maria Carolina Unknown [3507], on 10 Apr 1876.⁸ Georgina was born in Dec 1850 in George South Africa and died on 26 Mar 1904 in Elandsfontein, Beaufort West, South Africa at age 53. Another name for Georgina was Georgie Aspelling.⁸

• Family: MOOC? 6/9/578 2485 lists 8 children without dates of birth and have been included

• Alt Birth: Calculation from the Death Notice MOOC KAB 6/9/496 Ref 1017 shows a birth date of Dec 1850, taken as more correct than Feb 1851 previously given.

• Alt Birth: 1850. ⁸ This source gives her birth date as 18 Dec 1850. The date shown is thus probably a baptismal date.

• Alt. Death: 1904. ⁸ This source says she died at 49 Donkinstraat, Beaufort West

• Occupation: According to MOOC KAB 6/9/496 Ref 1017, she is described as being a farmers wife at her death date 1904

+ 57 M i. George Henry Weeber [3500] was born in 1893 in Beaufort West South Africa and died on 5 Nov 1931 in Queenstown South Africa at age 38.

+ 62 F vi. Eveline Marguerite Weeber [3513] was born on 3 Apr 1897 in Queenstown South Africa,^⁷ was christened on 3 May 1897 in Dutch Reformed Church, Beaufort West, South Africa, and died about 1986 in Pretoria, South Africa about age 89.

Matthys next married Margarita Jacomina Du Preez [3516] [MRIN: 1297] on 20 Apr 1906 in Riversdale Cape Province Souith Africa. Margarita was born in 1872 in Riversdale, died on 4 Sep 1933 in Volks Hospital Cape Town South Africa at age 61, and was buried in Cape Town ?. Other names for Margarita were Maggie Du Preez, Margaritha Jacomina Du Preez, and Margrietha Jacomina Du Preez.

• Alt Death: ⁵ ^,6 I assume she is commemorated with her spouse in a graveyard in Beaufort West but her date of death is recorded as 5 Sep 1933 aged 61. I assume she was buried in Cape Town. However, the Beaufort West Municipal graveyard record gives a location for her next to her spouse of RY F10 in the Blyth St. N/W cemetery.
Her DN from KAB MOOC 6/9/4324 Ref 39042 says she died on 4 Sep 1933 in the Drakmes(?) Nursing Home, Cape Town.

• Marriage: ¹⁰ After his first wife had passed away, Matthys married Maggie (Magriet) (3516)a teacher from the Riversdale district – who was approximately thirty years younger than he. She was a Du Preez and her brother Wouter farmed in the area – his farm “Windsor” is on the road to Stillbaai soon after the turnoff from the national road.

• Marriage: The DN for Matthys Johannes Weeber KAB MOOC 6/9/4180 Ref 35899 includes an Ante-Nuptial Contract with Margaretha Jacomina Du Preez, and although the details are not clear that portion of the DN is reproduced as 2 images herein.Matthys agrees, that in the event he predeceases her, she be paid a settlement of £1500 (One thousand five hundred Pounds) This in fact is repeated in his Will.

• Children: According to her DN in KAB MOOC 6/9/4324 Ref 39042 only Alma and Olga are recorded as her children and hence the 3rd child in Legacy namely .Caroline Weeber
must belong elsewhere. Perhaps she is the Maria Carolina who is a child of Matthys' first wife, and on this premise she has been removed from the link with Margrietha du Preez..

21. Pieter Jacobus Weeber [1000] (Marthinus Johannes⁶, Marthinus Johannes⁴, Johan Valentin¹) was born on 23 Jan 1845 in Beaufort West South Africa, died on 21 Oct 1930 in Donkin Street (Home) Beaufort West at age 85, and was buried in Blocka Ry38, Bird St. Cemetery, Beaufort West South Africa.^{⁵^,6} Another name for Pieter was Pieter Jacobus Weeber.

• Historical: Occupation. Pieter J WEEBER was a Senator of the British Cape Colony Parliament (1889-1907) and his nephew was Alan Wilson of the fateful Shangani patrol (in S. Rhodesia) around 1800. He and his wife Annie (nee Wilson) were Godparents of Rona (nee Blyth) Johnson. They had an Adopted daughter Jesse (VERSTER)
In his DN of KAB MOOC 6/9/3796 Ref 28122 he is qouted as being a retired farmer.

• Alt Birth: He died on 21 Oct 1930 aged 85 years and 9 months. This would make his alternate birthdate in Jan 1845 not 1843. The former date is accepted because the 1843 date would be the date of birth of his brother Matthys Johannes Weeber. This is confirmed by the date on his Headstone in the Beaufort West Cemetery which states that he died at age 85.

• Will: In his Will he leaves 200 Pounds plus residue of estate to his wife (Anne Murray Wilson) 300 Pounds to his sister Betty Weeber, 2000 Pounds to his (adopted) daughter Justina, 100 Pounds to May Blyth, daughter of his sister Cornelia Louisa Blyth, and 100 Pounds to Ina de Jager.
In his DN KAB MOOC 6/9/3796 Ref 28122 there is an Annexure which lists bequests to family as follows:- Anne Murray (spouse) £ 1000
Betty Weeber 500
Justina J.M.Verster 5650

• Historical: 1891, Beaufort West. ³ At 4pm on Wednesday2 Sep 1891, the Mrs C,W. Andrews, wife of the Magistrate,
named the new bridge over the Gamka river the WEEBER Bridge, after Senator Pieter Jacobus WEEBER, by breaking a bottle of champaigne against its masonry. There is a graphic photo of the bridge crowded with local resoidents on the occasion on page 44 of this source.

• Historical: Beaufort West. ⁹ Although originally of German stock the Weebers spoke English and Afrikaans at home. They belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church and were staunch supporters of the United Party. In fact Matthys's brother Pieter decided to go into politics and became a senator in the South African Parliament at which time Matthys bought his farm Sunnyside - which is owned by the Nel Family today. Pieter married but had no children of his own. He adopted a daughter Jessie Verster who was known by my family as cousin Jessie.

• Historical: Anne's nephew was the Alan Wilson of the fateful Shangani Patrol in the then Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. There is an impressive memorial to the patrol at the site of Cecil Rhodes' grave in the Matopo Hills in Matabeleland, Zimbabwe.Allan WILSON was the one killed at WILSON'S Last Stand.
Jack CARRUTHERS, who had been earlier asked by Wilson to form the Victoria Scouts which he did & led them through the Matabele war of '93. had this to say about the tradic event:-
"Forbes had decided to go to Shiloh, a Mission station twelve miles west, with the rain soaked remainder of the column, and await reinforcements. By this time we had no tea, sugar or salt, and had to subsist on any kind of food we could gather at deserted kraals. I told Major Wilson, I would go with the looted cattle, and return to join him at Shiloh. I wished him goodbye. Those were my last words with Wilson under the eaves of the Inyati station, he was sheltering from the rain, with a plaid shawl over his head and shoulders. The premises were occupied by the men. I had just returned from scouting, having secured some fowls, which I had cooked. I took Wilson some scones made from ground munga, leven with Kaffir beer, also a fowl. I tied another on to Kirkton's saddle and gave Sergeant Brown my Billy as they rode off to Shiloh. Wilson rode away on his big cream horse in his shirt sleeves, riding trousers and top boots. In his belt stuck a tobacco bag with his clasp knife on the side hook, his waterproof coat hung loosely over the pummel of his saddle. He carried no weapon of defence. A tall easy going man, never perturbed, a leader of men. To know the man was to like him, the last I saw of my pals, five mess mates including Fitzgerald."

• Cemetery: ⁵ ^,6 She is commemorated as Anne M. Weeber on her spouse's headstone in the Beaufort West Cemetery, and having died at the age of 78. This makes her birth date 1854 instead of 1853, but the latter may be more accurate.

• Historical: 1874, Cape Town. ³ She arrived in Table Bay from Scotland, in the steamboat "European" in June 1874 and was employed as an assistant teacher. She resigned a year later to mary Pieter Jacobus WEEBER.

• Baptism: In KAB MOOC 6/9/3796 Ref 28122 there is an affidavit by Anne that she was baptised in Scotland but cannot locate the certificate,

• Alt Birth: Jul 1852 ?, Beaufort West South Africa. MOOC KAB 6/9/5062 58803 The Death Notice states she was a widowed housewife residing at 43 Bird St. Beaufort West and died in the Beaufort West Hospital at age 85 years and 8 months which makes her estimated birth date as July 1852. In her Will, copied but excluding its reference number, she left Erf 43 Bird St. as an asset in her Estate.
There is an image of her birth certificate that is not completely recorded and omits her actual birth date,

• Family: At the request of his brother William Low Blyth who lost his wife and two children from Diptherea, he adopted his surviving son George Clarence Blyth who thereafter lived with them in Bird St Beaufort West.

• Alt Birth: 1860. His Death Notice records that he was 49 years and 11 months old, and as his death date of 22 November 1910 is confirmed, there is an alternative date for his birth which is 15 Dec 1860.

• Historical: The BLYTH's lived at 43 (or 39) Baird St. for many years, but the name of the street was changed to Bird St for no known reason as yet. After the death of May BLYTH, the last resident of the house, it was demolished and a police station erected on the property.

Ry-K4 Blyth St. N/W Cemetery, Beaufort West. Other names for Elizabeth were Betty Verster, Betty Weeber, and Elizabeth Angela Weeber.

• Alt Death: It is surely not a pure coincidence that the Beaufort West Municipal graveyard records show an E.E. Weebere(?) burried in NY-K4 on the 25 Aug 1937, which date is identical to her death date recorded from different source. (KAB MOOC 6/9/4960 Ref 56022)

• Alt Name: In MOOC KAB 6/9/3796 Ref 28122 there is a receipt of a bequest under the Will of Pieter Jacobus Weeber, of an amount of £ 200.... and the revenue stamp was over written by "Betty Verster" and Betty is referred to as Pieter's "sister" in the Will itself.
