About Kmdt. Matthys Johannes Wessels

Op 25.10.1875 is Thys Wessels (een van 4 here) op die eerste stadsraad van Harrismith verkies. Hy is egter skielik oorlede, nog voor hy kon sitting neem. Hy was bekend as Harrismith se miljoenêr, en het o.a. ses plase, duisend skape, beeste en perde besit. Sy boedel het £80 000.0.0 ingebring en die vendusie het die hele week lank aangehou.
