Adriaan Jacobus Jeremias Olivier was born 24 October 1870 at the farm Blijdskap, Bethlehem district, OFS, South Africa. He died 11 August 1901 on the farm Zaaihoek, Harrismith District, OFS, South Africa. His death was caused by a gunshot wound while out on comando during the Anglo Boer War. He was buried at Kestel but re-buried at a war monument in Harrismith during which time the bullet was recovered. His clothes were donated to the museum in Bloemfontein. A.J.J. Olivier was married to Martha Hendrina Papenfus and they had a daughter, Aletta who later married H.S. du Preez. H.J. Moolman cared for him in the days before his death. His daughter, Lettie and her husband Hennie du Preez lived for the greater part of their married life on the farm Eendracht, Reitz district, OFS and they had four children, Marthie, Rudolf, Annie and Adriaan. I have yet to find out more about the actual war details and have been very pleased to find this site. A.J.J. Olivier was Hennie's great grandfather. [4]
