Interesting van der Bijl family inscription.
Hendrik Johannes van der Bijl was a South African electrical engineer and industrialist and is regarded as one of the greatest South Africans for his contribution to the country's development. He was the driving force behind the establishment of the South African electricity utility company Eskom and the South African Steel and Iron Corporation ISCOR.
In 1915 Van der Bijl married Florence Wagner, an American who he met as a music student in Germany. They did not have any children. His second wife was Ethel Buxton, whom he married in 1942 and they had a son and two daughters.
The inscription in the book related to his wife's side of the family.
