DEATH: Biographical Information
DEATH: "Thomas Bates Cullinan and Eliza were fated to die young. He died at the age of 41 on April 4, 1879, in a tent on the railway works near Cathcart, a small town on the Queenstown-East London railway line... Several weeks before his death he had gone to King Williams Town to collect wages for his railway labourers. On his way back to Cathcart he was assaulted and robbed while he lay asleep under an ox-wagon... Tragically, he never recovered from this assault... Eliza died a year later in Grahamstown, on May 7, 1880, at the age of 40, apparently of a broken heart."
