Volksrust
TWENTY MILES FROM WAKKERSTROOM, ON THE NATAL BORDER. Frederik Fortunatus Downing Kolbe married here. THIS ARCHIVE ALSO PUT A CHILD'S GRAVE HERE FOR HALF A DAY AND HAS TAKEN IT BACK: Martha Angeline Kolbe, sixty days old, is buried at WAKKERSTROOM, and the index that said Volksrust was naming the DISTRICT, which Wakkerstroom lies inside. Volksrust held one of the concentration camps, and the NAAIRS index holds a camp grave for a G.E. KOLBE, aged 35 — which is NOT the Angeline Kolbe who died at Wakkerstroom in 1900, a different age in a different year in a different town. NO PERSON IN THIS ARCHIVE IS YET SHOWN TO HAVE BEEN IN THAT CAMP.
