About Maria Magdalena Elizabeth Mare
- DEATH: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS3N-WSJZ-9?i=14&c...
- Mrs. van Warmelo was a "voor-trekker," a pioneer, in every sense of the word. As a girl of fourteen she had left Natal with her parents and had "trekked," with other families, through the wild waste of country, into the unknown and barbaric regions in which she was destined to spend her youth.
- She had watched the growth of a new country, the building up of a new race. She had known all the hardships and dangers of life in an unsettled and uncivilised land, had been through a number of Kaffir wars and could speak, through personal experience, of many adventures with savage foes and wild beasts. Her children knew her stories by heart, and it is not to be wondered at that they grew up with the love of adventure strong in them. And above all things, they grew up with a strong love for the strange, rich, wild country for which their forefathers had fought and suffered.
- Mrs. van Warmelo was the eldest daughter of a family of sixteen.
- From The Petticoat Commando, by Johanna Brandt
