From Maryse Pate from her recollection of conversations with Oupa Frans:
He grew up on a farm in NW Transvaal.
West of Rustenberg.
They travelled by ox-wagon, two days to Rustenberg, 1 week to Pretoria where they would lager in Church Square for the weekend, trade and go to church.

His parents died when he was relatively young.
He had a cousin who hobbled on stumpy legs. It doesn't sound like it was from an accident, so possibly polio.

Please change the deceased children's profiles to public. This may actually help with the research.

Herbert Alphonso Pate (Labuschagne) is likely to be the 2nd son. Maternal grandfathers name. Eldest son is likely to have his paternal grandfathers' name.

Herbert was born Labuschagne and changed name to Pate circa 1973-1974
