Smithers | H Langworthy Hampden | | | Born on March 19, 1857, at Brussels. He arrived in Natal in 1867 with his parents, when he devoted his attention to learning farming. He went to the diamond fields in 1870, and to Pretoria in 1874. He was commandeered by the Boers in 1875, and served on commando. He joined the Transvaal Civil Service in 1870, and was appointed to the special service of the Postal Department by Sir Owen Lanyon. In 1880-81 he took part in the defence of Pretoria and was present at the engagements near that town. In 1881 he returned to the diamond fields, and went to Koffyfontein in 1892, where he was very successful as a digger. On war breaking out he was commandeered by the Boers to fight against the English, but he fled the country, passing through the Boer lines to the Gordon Highlanders' camp at Graspan. He returned later, and took a prominent part in the defence of Koffyfontein, becoming OC, Koffyfontein Defence Force, on the retirement of Major Robertson, KLH. He was elected Mayor of Koffyfontein, and made JP for Fauresmith by the British Government. He married, June 5, 1884, Elsa, eldest daughter of Mr Dietrich, of Sea Point, near Cape Town. He has five children. His eldest son served 19 months against the Boers. | Koffyfontein Defence Force |
