SIR JOHN TRUTER
Sir John Andreas TRUTER, late President of the Court of Justice, died on Thursday morning at the advanced age of eighty-one years and eight months. Sir John's career as a lawyer and a judge for a long course of time, and in seasons of great difficulty, is well known, and a review of his conduct leaves on the mind an impression highly favourable to his character. In private life he was affectionate and friendly, being always active in advancing the welfare of others, and never more cheerful and happy than when his efforts in their behalf were crowned with success. He was an accomplished scholar, and in promoting Education among all ranks and classes of people in this colony his energy never flagged, his zeal never waxed cold. There is a sort of pleasure mixed with the melancholy that steals upon the mind, when such a man is known to have retired, as it were, from this life, not merely resigned, but unfeignedly thankful and content. His last days were cloudless, and his approaching change was prepared for with his usual love of order and simplicity. One almost hears him saying "I have lived. It is enough. I pass in humble hope on the Redeemer into the next mansion of my Father's house."

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
