Mpumalanga, PILGRIM'S REST, Main cemetery

Cemetery information:-

We have photographs of all the old graves in the cemetery in this album, those with head stones!

Unfortunately the quality of the photos are not good. Apart of the stones being very old - it was also raining on the day of our visit. It also appears if some person used builders chalk on the headstones - which scratched most of the stones; making the inscriptions even more difficult to read. Alta
