It includes a few graves of Jews several Jewish pioneers involved in the early days of the city who died serving on either side in the Boer War, 1899-1902. Each of the 30 or so tombstones of these pioneer families has been completely transcibed. Some of the gravestones are in poor condition and some graves are now unmarked.
