All
Friedrich Wilhelm Karl and Sarah Ann’s children were born in South
Africa.
When most of the family moved to Lobatsi in Botswana, Lil and Marie
remained in South Africa. Freda
married Frank GREEN in Lobatsi, but while on their way to the coast took
ill in the train and was taken off at Grahamstown where she died and is
buried. Ethel married
Harry GREENBERG and they farmed in Botswana for some years before moving
to South Africa. The rest of the
family, except for Friedrich Wilhelm Karl and Sarah Ann, moved to
Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) I
BELIEVE…. I
have headed it that as unfortunately I am inclined to believe most
things I am told. When
we were young my dear darling brother told me that Jimmie Sinclair
(brother of Donald), a well known South African cricketer, hit a ball
from the old Wanderers all the way to Cape Town where it bounced on an
old man’s head and bounced back again.
I believed it, not knowing where Cape Town was but there is a
grain of truth in the story. The old Wanderers Club bounded the railway station and
today is part of the new railway station in Johannesburg. Jimmie Sinclair hit a ball so hard that it went over the
boundary, fell into the truck of a passing train… some say the train was going to Cape Town and others that it
was going to Durban. Now
you know why I say ‘I believe.’ |
