Biography

Hester (birth surname unknown) was the first wife of Roelof Cornelis Fourie. She had one daughter, also named Hester (Hettie). She died during vhildbirth to her second born, a son, who also died. I am estimating that she would have been born after 1885. Roelof's second wife gave birth in 1929, so again I am estimating that Hester died before 1929.
