Cemetery information:- Ohrigstad was founded in 1845 by Hendrik Potgieter, the well-known Voortrekker leader. He named it after himself and George Ohrig: Andries-Ohrigstad. Sadly, the town was plagued by malaria mosquitoes and abandoned in 1848. Ohrigstad was only resettled in the 1900's when the malaria plague was controlled. Album complete, photos were taken of all the headstones at the time. The cemetery is still in use today. eGGSA captions done by: Alta Griffiths, Lorraine Beechey, Annette Meyer and Riana le Roux.
