Information provided by Peter and Beverley Moss:- For many years we have been trying to take photos of the headstones, but the cem is always overgrown. In Aug 2010 we photographed this overgrown cemetery. The headstones are smashed and overturned, huge holes have been dug, etc. The DVD contains 6 names, but under the circumstances we could only locate 3 headstones to photograph. ---oOo--- Update: 7 November 2023 provided by Karen Stokes On site you have Harry CK Howell (that's now completely destroyed) ? Henry Howell (first name Sidney) is destroyed. New pics 20231103_142910 is an updated view of the cemetery 20231103_143001 is the top of James and Emily Howell's headstone 20231103_142927 is the bottom half of James and Emily's headstone with her age of death 20231103_143330 belongs to Johanna Sophia Christina Howell We managed to scrape some of the dirt off with a stick to see her name. This headstone has fallen into the grave itself . Of the family of 10 James and Emily; Sidney Henry; and Sophia are the ones confirmed so far as to being buried here. It's with much sadness that I can honestly say that with the vandalism done to my family's gravestones eGGSA is now the custodians showing evidence that family members of the Howells at one were buried there. I was glad to get the pic of James and Emily as they are the Forefathers of this line of Howells Album incomplete. eGGSA captions by Annel Meyer and Alex van Niekerk.
