Tuesday 27 August 1850

DIED on the 20th August 1850, David MUNRO Esq, late Surgeon to the Burgher Forces during the last Kafir War, aged 34 years and 10 months. As a medical practitioner for upwards of 12 years in this place and District, his loss is great – but as a friend, not only to those who enjoyed and valued his friendship, who estimated his worth, his upright, candid and honest principles, but the poor and infirm, his loss is inestimable. His funeral – the largest ever witnessed in Cradock – was attended by almost everyone, white and black; all united in the same feelings. He died calm after an illness of 16 days. His features after death shewed that he was in peace with his God. And the memento subsequent to his interment breathed by all present was "Here lies an honest man – the noblest work of God". Considerable amounts have been subscribed by his friends for the erection of a Monument as a tablet to his memory.

Tuesday 24 September 1850

DIED on the 22nd August 1850 (her birthday), Elizabeth COVARE (married SALT), aged 65, a native of France. She possessed in an eminent degree the energetic and courageous qualities for which the people of that nation are so celebrated. These enabled her to go through a more than usual number of dangers and difficulties to which she was exposed. When the Kafirs attacked Graham's Town in 1819, and the soldiers were about to retreat before the overwhelming numbers, it was Elizabeth SALT that rallied and cheered them on to the fight, and served them with ammunition during the remainder of the engagement. A farm was given her for her services, but it was in Kafirland, and has since been ceded to the Kafirs. Nothing further has been done for her. She leaves one daughter to lament the loss of an affectionate mother. May he who knows all hearts receive her to Himself in His Kingdom.
