Seventh Day Adventist Church; Kimberley (ERRATA)



In my previous publications, the reader can read all about the original De Beer who's name perpetuated in the famous DE BEERS DIAMOND COMPANY. When I visited his grave in the Boshof district in the Free State (South Africa), one of his descendants told me that he spent a great deal of his money that he received in selling his farm in Kimberley to Cecil John Rhodes, on some or other church denomination. In my research thus far, however, I am unable to establish whether he also gave money to this specific church.
