Elizabeth Christina Petronella - Burial place

Hi Sandra

According to her Death Certificate @Elizabeth Christina Petronella de Vos (born Stoeder) passed away on 9 May 1937 in Dordrecht, district Wodehouse, Eastern Cape. Dordrecht is also stated as her usual place of residence and Dordrecht Cemetery as place of burial.

Her Death Notice reflects that Elizabeth Christina Petronella was deceased at the age of 69 years 11 months on Sunday, 9 May 1937 and that her residence was Van Niekerk Street, Dordrecht. The address can be found on Google Earth. The Death Notice of course also provides details of her parents, daughter and estate in brief. Her second husband, HC de Vos signed the Death Notice.

Her first husband @Heinrich Friederich Peter Zinn (spelt “Sinn”in some documents) passed away on 21 June 1920 on his farm Rhebokskloof, district Humansdorp. According to his Death Certificate he was buried in the “local cemetery”, presumably at Humansdorp. Copies of his Estate Papers contained the joint will with Elizabeth Christina Petronella.

The only child of Elizabeth Christina Petronella and Heinrich Friederich Peter Zinn, Anna Catherina Petronella, married Barend van Staaden, passed away at Dordrecht on 1 Jan 1947. She was buried at the Dordrecht Cemetery.

Various documents are available if you are interested.

I trust this is of assistance.

Kind regards

Hi Sandra,
I have found that while most helpful, the grave yard photos are not always complete.
I noted that the tombstone of your grandmother, Anna Catharina Petronella van Staaden is reflected as 06/05/1908, while the Baptism Records of the NGK Humansdorp states her date of birth as 6 May 1907, ie one year earlier.
The Death Notice of her father, HFP Sinn, also recorded Anna Catharine Petronella's date of birth as 6 May 1907 (this document was signed by Elizabeth Christina Petronella Sinn/Stoeder).
I will send you the documents I have.
Kind regards
Kobus
