Grahamstown Journal 1892 03 March Written by Sue Mackay. Posted in The Grahamstown Journal

Saturday 19 March 1892

We regret to hear of the death, at Uitenhage, of Mr. Jabez COLLING, an old and respected citizen, who was born in 1822 and was the son of one of the 1820 Settlers, Mr. Thomas COLLING.

OBITUARY In a notice of Mr. Jabez COLLING, who died at Uitenhage last week, the Uitenhage Times observes:- The late Mr. Jabez COLLING was nearly a British Settler, being born at Port Elizabeth on the 7th July 1822, his father, Mr. Thomas COLLING, a native of London, England, having come to this country in 1820 with the British Settlers. His early youth was spent in Port Elizabeth, where he was apprenticed. After spending some time in Grahamstown during the earlier Kafir wars, in which he served as a volunteer, he established himself at Port Elizabeth as a carpenter and builder, and over thirty years ago he removed to Uitenhage, where he continued to carry on his business and became the proprietor of the Drostdy, was elected a member of the Municipal Commissioners, and was for years a prominent and respected member of the community. For a long time he filled the position of Honorary Librarian, and in that capacity helped to nurse that useful institution through its infancy. Since then, as General News Agent, his person has been familiar to everyone who knows Uitenhage, and his name well known far beyond. Some few years ago he was attacked by a fatal disease and, although he was a great sufferer, towards the last pain left him, and he passed away peacefully. The deceased had twelve sons and daughters, of whom ten survive him. His fifth child and third son, Arthur, went to Basutoland as one of the 3rd Cape Mounted Yeomanry, and was one of those who fell at the Kolo disaster. His youngest, a daughter, died in infancy; all the rest are living and filling active and useful positions in life.
