Free State, SENEKAL district, Paul Roux, Telegraaf 508, farm cemetery
Cemetery information:
I took these photo's of graves on the farm Telegraaf, about 2km north of Paul Roux. Johannes Prinsloo died in 1909 and EMJC Botha (* Jacobsz) died in 1910. Prinsloo's widow HC Prinsloo (* de Wet) then married PW Botha, widower of EMJC Botha, when each of them had 5 children. PW Botha & HC de Wet were the parents of the late PW Botha.
Joachim Johannes Prinsloo was the son of J & HC Prinsloo and he married his stepsister Anna Christina Botha (d/o PW Botha & EMJC Jacobsz). Pieter Willem Prinsloo was the son of this couple.
Heyla Marthina Prinsloo was the daughter of J & HC Prinsloo and she married Jacobus Johannes Rautenbach - the surname is spelt incorrectly as Routenbach on the gravestone.
Fanie de Bruin is unrelated and was a friend of the present owners, Tom & Santjie McKelvey (* Rautenbach).
I have been told that there are more Prinsloo graves on a nearby farm and will endeavour to take photo's there as well. - Adriana Barrett
