  Carolina Petronella (Totie) Greeff Totie died at the age of five as a result of croup. Her older sister Grieta named her eldest daughter after her, but was concerned that her own Totie might also die of croup. One of the reasons may have been the extraordinary likeness between her little sister Totie and her own daughter.

  
  

• Notes

  Died at young age, apparently due to croup. Aretha relates that her grandmother told how little Totie bore a remarkable resemblance to her own daughter Totie (Aretha's mother) and that she had feared that her Totie could meet the same fate.
