Notes for Carl Heinrich Leopold Max JURISCH

His death notice is in German, from Charlottenburg. There are several places with names similar to Charlottenburg, such as Charlottenberg, Rheinland-Pfalz. But there is only one Charlottenburg. This is near Berlin. There are two Marienwerder, one part of Hannover and the other near Berlin. The latter in more probable, assuming he lives in the same area for his whole life.

Born in Graudenz, Germany, the son of a forester, he joined the Prussian army as a regular soldier and fought in the war against France in 1871. Because of his mother's (sic) relations, the De Marillacs, in South Africa, he emigrated in 1872 and, in 1878, joined the staff of the Cape Surveyor-General, himself rising to the post in 1902. Apart from his professional work, he wrote standard treatises on his science. Source: "Southern African Dictionary of National Biography" compiled by Eric Rosenthal, pages 191 & 192.
