The Gaborone Village Graveyard

Open it up and there is spread before us, in a way, which is otherwise unavailable, the names of a few of the people who lived and died in and around Gaborone between 1896 and 1965. Unfortunately the record, as in all graveyards, is incomplete.

The few words on each gravestone do, however, tell us something of their story, of children who died very young, of others whose lives were cut short for usually unstated reasons, and of those who, in their time, were locally well known.
