Western Cape, CAPE TOWN, Urban area / Western Cape, CAPE TOWN, City Bowl and City Centre / Western Cape, CAPE TOWN, City Bowl, Adderley street, The Old Slave Lodge, Memorials / (9 of 9 images)
Album information:-
The Cultural museum is also known as the Slave Lodge, situated on the corner of Wale and Adderley streets. The building has been beautifully renovated.
None of the people in this album were buried at the Slave Lodge - except for a few where this is stated, the original location of the gravestones is unknown.
It was very difficult to take these pictures as some of the stones are mounted high up on the wall. The inscriptions on the stones are very old and proved to be a challange.
Thank you to Richard Ball, Annatjie Erasmus, Annelie Els and Gail Röthlin who helped with the captions.

MOHR Hans Diderik -1785
Richard wrote:- Hans Diderik Mohr [geboren] in het jaar onses heren ano [1720] den 3 maart overleden den 20 november Ano 1785 in den ouderdom van 65 jaren 8 maanden en 16 dagen iob vii mijn:Vleests met het gewormten de met het cril ijs des st des:ber i eed mijn:huydis gekloven ende veracteleyk geworden I imagine this last is a quote from the Bible but I cannot make it into anything - perhaps someone more familiar with the old Hoog Hollandse Bybel may see it? All I can think of is this: though worms destroy my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God but I can't really make this out in these Dutch words. Richard Ball Die bybelteks op die steen is ongeveer as volg: Job 7:5 (Statenbijbel) Mijn vleest is met het gewormten, de met het gruijs des stofs bekleed. Mijn huyd is gekloven ende verachteleyk geworden. Groete! Chris le Roux
