Note
: I am desperate for a photograph of this gravestone as I hope it will also give the name and details of his pre-deceased wife, my great-grandmother. I have been unable to attain these details thus far.

Currently I believe her name might have been Susan Viljoen (c. 1884 - c. 1910).


George married Gesie Josena van Niekerk. (Gesie Josena van Niekerk was born Cal 1886 in Cape Colony, South Africa 6 and died on 26 Feb 1911 in Longlands, Northern Cape, South Africa 6.)
