Goamus
Surveying 1951 'GOAMUS was one of the pricing farms of Capt. Hendrik Witbooi. On the farm was a fountain just below the crane where the house is now. The fountain had an opening of about 4 inches in cutting; The water sprayed from it with a foamed foam. The name means 'foam eye'. Later (date unknown), there was a German who wanted to make the opening bigger and opened it with dynamite. The result is that the water no longer spouts, but it still runs out. Krishan freer, a hotten-to-minister, provided the information '. From the Delegative Letter of Constable FP Naude.

Opmeting 1951 'Goamus was vroeër een van die spogplase van kapt. Hendrik Witbooi. Op die plaas was ’n fontein net onderkant die Kalkrand waar die woonhuis nou staan. Die fontein het 'n opening gehad van ongeveer 4 duim in deursny; die water het daaruit gespuit met ’n fors wat skuim gemaak het. Die naam beteken ‘Skuimoog’. later (datum onbekend) het daar ’n Duitser gewoon wat die opening groter wou maak en dit met dinamiet oopgeskiet het. Die gevolg is dat die water nie meer uitspuit nie, maar dit loop nog uit. Krisjan Vryer, ’n Hotten- tot-predikant, het die inligting verstrek'. Uit die begelêidende brief van konstabel FP Naude.
