MOTHER IN LAW, CCW VAN WYK



My mother in law, Christina, Catharina Wilhelmina Van Wyk (nee) Van Schalkwyk, was born in the little southern Free State town of Luckhof. On her 85th birthday, my wife, Christa and I took her to the church where she was baptized. She currently lives in Johannesburg and Leeukrans respectively with her two sons, Jannie and Willie. She remembered her father who worked on the railway lines from Luckhof and later in Winburg in the northern Free State. After completing her school career, she moved to Johannesburg where she met my father in law, Jan Johannes Booysen Van Wyk. She worked as an admin clerk in the Johannesburg General Hospital and later on in the Art School. Her mother's maiden name was Boshof.
