This is my last Kafue graveyard posting. I decided to go up to 1970 (or so) and stop there, but I have photos of many later gravestones. If you are interested in a particular one, ask me and I'll see if I have it, though I'm aware that I did not get them all, as it was a particularly hot day!
General views of the graveyard can be seen here:
In this posting:
1. Van de Schyff / Schoeman, 1931

4. Rossiter d 1916
5. Martha Muller, 1928
6. Hercules Muller, 1928
=======================================================
Presumably (given the unusual name) related to
"MRS. J. FRASER, 1895 or earlier
Christian names Euphemia Darg. This lady had a son, Eon Roderick Davidson,
born in Salisbury on 27/9/95. Her husband, John Fraser, was a mining
engineer. Information, the Cathedral, Salisbury, Baptismal Register, Vol I,
National Archives."
As mentioned here under Rhodesian Pioneers.
Could this be the same Rossiter mentioned in 'Showtime' (see elsewhere on this blog), an Australian who worked with a Higginson from Lancaster , in 1912, 'who traded grain along the banks of the [Kafue] river for 200 miles, using a small whaling boat left over from the railway construction and the steel hull of a launch brought out by the Rhodesian Copper Company for the Sable Antelope mine north of Mumbwa, but never used because of the rapids'.
I imagined these two Mullers must have been related. Perhaps someone will know them.
