Driefontein

Charlotta Elizabeth Dormehl's own place. She gave it as her home when she married at Zeerust in April 1892, and she died there on 6 February 1902 — three months before the peace, and ten years into a marriage to a man who farmed a hundred miles away at Brakfontein. She never moved to him. The coordinates are approximate: the district is certain, the farm is not placed.
