These three brothers were captured at WEBER on 09/06/1901 and sent away as POWs:
Nel Jacob Louis Poplenburg
Nel Philip Jacobus
Nel Johannes Petrus
Their address is given as EDINBURGH District PIET RETIEF
A local resident has informed me that the farm name was WEEBER and it is slightly south of due east from P Retief. It was completely destroyed (still is) during ABW.
The three brothers were of a group of seven apprehended at that location. Two came from Adalia (Idalia is the farm adjoining Edinburg on the southern boundary) and one from Witkop (one farm removed to the south of Idalia).
This day is significant and been recorded in AWB accounts as columns of Plumer and Knox were able to swoop from the north upon Piet Retief, while that of Rimington making a detour, wheeled round the south of the town and blocked all southerly exits and cut off a Boer convoy lumbering along towards the Vryheid Road, accompanied by the escaping Landdrost of Piet Retief and William A Emmett, who were forthwith taken prisoners together with twenty eight more of their compatriots. The three van Rooyen men in this group came from Edelgesteente, the farm bordering Edinburg to the West. (http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/BUITENPOSTEN/2013-11/1385670282)
Solmar
held under lease 80/1925; Solmar no 2 under lease 60/1926. Assuming the name Wiets Lourens given to a
son to be conforming to naming protocol, we may deduce this following ABO
record for POW refers to her father: WIETS LOURENS SMIT, 54, Address:
VLAKFONTEIN, Standerton Captured 1901/10/21 Sent: St Helena
1903 COMPENSATION CLAIM: The board noted that he owned no
ground, was unmarried and living with his aunt, a widow, at Scottspoort Natal and working for
her. She owned the farm and thus no
compensation required in this case.
