1101 Dougarie owner dies aged 88
The Arran Banner 18 Nov 2017

Stephen Gibbs OBE, who died on november 12.
The man who ran Dougarie Estate for the last 35 years has passed away. Stephen Gibbs OBE died peacefully at his home on Sunday. He was 88.
A statement from the Gibbs family said: ‘It is with great sadness that we inform you that Stephen Gibbs died on Sunday morning (November 12) at home. A service of thanksgiving will be held at 11.45am, Monday November 27 at Shiskine Church.’
Stephen Cokayne Gibbs was born on 18 July 1929, the son of Sir Geoffrey Cokayne Gibbs and Helen Margaret Leslie. He was educated at Eton College, Windsor and gained the rank of lieutenant in 1948 in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. He later reached the rank of major in 1960 in the QVR (Territorial Army).
He married Lavinia Winifred Bacon, daughter of Sir Edmund Castell Bacon and Priscilla Dora Ponsonby, on 21 November 1972. The couple acquired the 27,000-acre sporting estate on Arran the same year and it was to be their home for the next 35 years. Stephen was also a former director of Charles Barker plc and the Vaux Group plc.
He was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s New Year’s honours list in 2001 for his services to deer management.
He is survived by his wife Lavinia and their three children Emily, James and William.

1103 Dr. Philip Eduard Faure (February 1, 1811, Stellenbosch - December 7, 1882) was the first minister of the Dutch Reformed Church Wynberg, where he worked for 48 years, four times moderator of the Dutch Reformed Church's Cape Synod and six times actuator or assessor of the same body. Wynberg was his only congregation.

Faure left in 1828 after Utrecht for theological study. On December 7, 1834, he was confirmed as Wynberg's first teacher and served the congregation until his death on December 7, 1882. It was his eldest brother, Dr. Abraham Faure, who founded the congregation five years earlier on September 20, 1829, when he led the first religious practice on the farm De Onder Schuur, later the state president's home Westbrooke (currently Genadendal).

The Church gives him and dr. William Robertson commissioned in 1848 to visit the Voortrekkers in the Transgariep and to strengthen them spiritually. The two church leaders lie about 3,000 miles (4,800 km). On November 25, 1848, they founded the congregation of Smithfield as the third congregation in the later Free State, and the congregation in Bloemfontein continued to emerge the same year. The successful journey has done much to improve the tense relationship between the Voortrekkers and the Mother Church in the Cape Colony. The Free State town of Fauresmith, where the NG congregation Fauresmith was also founded in 1848, was named after Faure and Governor Sir Harry Smith when it was founded in 1850.

From 1850 on, Faure appeared as editor of the annual Church Almanac. He also founded the Theological Seminary in Stellenbosch in 1859.

At Wynberg he strives for the spiritual processing and education of the colored population. This leads to the establishment of a separate missionary congregation, which merged with the Wynberg congregation in 2008.

Faure has held numerous leadership positions in the church thanks to his ingenuity, versatility and business acumen. His sermons, speeches and writings have also been published. He was the first moderator of the Cape Synod in 1847, when he was only 36 years old. In 1857, 1863 and 1873 he held this post again.

1104 Dr. Robert B. Remmett is frequently mentioned in the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs and practised as a doctor in Plymouth. He was founder (1794) and President of the Plymouth Medical Society and Physician Extraordinaire to the Plymouth Public Dispensary. Author of two books for which see Allibone's 'Dictionary of English Literature' (1894). He is not known to have had issue by his second wife. His children by Elizabeth (Gibbs) were: George, the eldest son, living 1792, who was drowned whilst at school at Eton College; John who died whilst at school at Eton College; and Robert, who was born at Plymouth 30 August 1778, died September 1825, married 8 July 1814 Elizabeth Tozer. She, who was born 5 November 1786 and died 10 January 1864, was of the same family as Bishop Tozer. Her husband was at one time Solicitor to the Customs in London. See the book 'Antony & Dorothea by J.A. Gibbs' for some details of his life. His grandson, Robert Remmett, born 1850, murdered in Mexico, 1901, unmarried, was the last male of the family, which is now represented by descendants of that Robert's sisters, viz., of Fanny Henrietta (of Teignmouth, 1915) who married John Collins Baker (died 1901) one of whose sons, Charles Henry Collins Baker, was for many years up to 1932 keeper and secretary of the National Gallery, London, - Ada Mary Massey who married the late Major Henry G. C. Burmingham, of Froye House, Hampshire, and Lena Elizabeth who married Edward Gallop, of Sydney, New South Wales.

For references to pedigrees of the Remmett family, see the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J. A. Gibbs, p. 375, n; and for note of portraits of Dr. Remmett, see the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs by J. A. Gibbs, p. 434.

She built (1876-8) and endowed St. Michael's Home for Consumptives in the parish of Cheddar, Somerset in memory of her husband, redecorated the chancel of St. Michael's, Exeter, which he built, and improved Exwick church. She endowed Keble College, Oxford (1881) with a fund of an annual value of £800 for Scholarships and for other grants to students. She built and maintained (as also did her son Antony after her) a Cottage Convalescent Home ("St. John's Lodge") at Wraxall afsd. and also built there in 1885 the large village club and in 1887 seven almshouses ("The Jubilee Cottages"): also the Battle Axes Inn, establishing it in her own name and on the principle of temperance as opposed to teetotalism. She gave the site (the site was left to her by her husband, she left money to the Home in her will) for the Convalescent and Incurable Home at Woking, Surrey, founded in connection with the Sisterhood of St. Peter's Kilburn, which manages St. Michael's Home afsd. A ward in Weston-super-Mare Convalescent Home, where she undertook the cost of 33 beds, bore her name.
