Extract from Family Register of the Melvill's Family and Short Account of the Life of Mr John Melvill, from 1800-1852, originally compiled by JM Marquard in 1921 and updated by Mrs Janet Melville in 1977:
Laura had a lot of old world charm and was dedicated to the service of her community and church. Her home was always open to everybody. Her husband was a teacher by profession and later became secretary of the local Humansdorp school board, where he served until his retirement. He was one of the leading figures in the Dutch Reformed church where he served prominently in an official capacity until his death. He also served on the Town council for several years.
