Person:John Tarr (3)

Typical settler people, taking a lively interest in other people's welfare. They made a good living from ostriches during the boom years. Always hospitable, more often than not the generally large dining room table accomodated a "full house" for Sunday dinner with family and friends, coming either by cart and horse or horseback. In later life they lived in a cottage on their son, Rowland's farm, Fair View, Senekal. According to legend, their first children, twins, died at birth. The remaining children, all sons, were Rowland Cecil, John Vivian and Reginald Samuel.
