"In 1921 little Eunis had been lost in the bush for several days before she
was found. On the third day her father found her asleep amongst the kopjes on
Stone Hills Farm, over three miles from home. Asleep from sheer exhaustion,
terror, hunger and thirst. She was carried home suffering from exposure and
croup which resulted in bronchial and chest trouble, which affected her heart.
The heart condition caused dropsy to set in and Eunis could no longer walk,
but spent the last months of her life in her old pram in the day time. Eunis
passed away in her sleep on the 5 August 1922, just nine days after Lois was
married."
