“Experiences of Rhodesia’s Pioneer Women" Frances Patton Impey

Nee Frances Patton Impey. Traveled up from Vryburg as Mrs. Alexander with 3 children and was married at Hope Foundation by Rev. D. Carnegie to Captain (later sir Melville) Heyman. She laid the foundation stones of the Memorial Hospital (to the memory of those who fell in the Matabele War of ’93) and of St. John’s Church, Bulawayo. Lady Heyman left Rhodesia on the death of her husband and died at the Cape in December 1944. Almost identical articles about her appear in “Experiences of Rhodesia’s Pioneer women” and “women in Central Africa.” On Roll of Women Pioneers.
