Individual Note:
               2 PLAC Chill

Mary Chalmers Voss (Chilly) married Tom Holland, a telephone engineerfrom Scotland. They lived in amongst other places, Mowbray, Cape Townand on the banks of Boksburg Lake where it is thought he died.
Tom and Mary had four girls, the youngest being born after TomHolland had died during a bad flu epidemic in 1919: His parents(especially Grandma Holland) were apparently not very kind and accusedAuntie Jean, their Grand Daughter, of being responsible for his death.They apparently believed she had not looked after him properly whenshe and her pregnant mother ( Mary) were also ill with the flu. AuntieJean was the only Grand Daughter to be disinherited by her Hollandgrandparents.

Mary brought up the four girls on her own (five years differencebetween each successive child). It is thought that wealthy Uncle Bobhelped her financially. Once widowed, she lived in Mowbray, Cape Townand Arcadia, Pretoria and died at The Valley in Elgin where she hadmoved in her last years to be with Mary, her daughter. (informationfrom Mary's ancestor Alison Smith)
