*Griekwastad Ou Begraafplaas Addendum

'n Groot granietsteen in die vorm van ‘n boomstam wat ingeval lê in die dubbelgraf – inskrywings gesig na onder.
Ook ‘n groot granietsteen wat met gesig na onder lê op graf. ‘n Doringboom groei op die graf.

klip: klipkopstene – dalk ouer grafte wat geen of min inligting op bevat nie – dalk die ouer begraafplaas se reste – die seringbome is baie groot en oud? botanis sal kan sê – ouderdom van gebruik van begraafplaas. Enige munisipale / dorps dokumentasie is nie nagespoor nie – niks by kerkkantoor nie.
