Kindly see difference of death date on gravestone and death notice:

Very interesting data:

http://griquatownandersons.com/ancestors/1812.htm So the D.T.O and D.S.O are not names, they are medals and that is why I am removing it as names. He received the D.S.O and D.T.D for his efforts as further described by Alwyn Smit Distinguished Service Order and Dekorasie vir Troue Dienst. The Dutch version of the DSO. He had eight medals in all. All kept at the Pretoria Museum.
