His siblings were:

Family photo taken around 1934.

We know from firsthand information that after his wife, "ouma Bellie" died in 1918 in the great influenza plague, Callie was left with six minors to look after. The children were all adopted by different families, with one, Jacoba Louisa, adopted by the Beukes family of Klipheuwel, Caledon. [1]

The photo on the right was taken around 1934, with the earlier photo of "ouma Bellie (d. 1918)" pasted in.

  • Strangely his entry in the burial register lists a date of birth of 16 June 1886 but this may just be an error in the transcription
