https://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/fort-beaufort-advocate/1... Fort Beaufort Advocate 1863 2 April - June Written by Nadine Van der Merwe. Posted in Fort Beaufort Advocate Saturday, June 6, 1863 A VERY SUDDEN DEATH occurred on Monday 25th May. A Mr. MOORCROFT who was in to the muster on that day, left the same evening for his home on the Winterberg. Arriving at Mr MCDONALD’s and feeling unwell, he stayed there for the night. His friends stayed up with him until midnight, and not noticing anything particularly wrong, retired. The next morning deceased was found in a dead-like stupor, in which he remained for two days and then expired. We hear that medical aid was sent for but did not arrive. There certainly was great neglect somewhere, and we think the public ought to be made acquainted as to who were in the wrong. – Ibid. Saturday, June 13, 1863 DIED suddenly, near Whittlesea, on the 25th May, 1863, George Arthur MOORCROFT, eldest son of Mr. Geo. MOORCROFT of the Koonap. – Aged 28 years, - Deeply regretted by his relatives and friends.
