The historical Venter graveyard which holds a double and three single graves occur near the entrance gate to Venetia Mine. All the graves are fitted with granite headstones and trimmings. Some of the graves are older than sixty years and confirm its historical significance. Inscriptions on some of the graves read as follow: ‘Ter gedachtenis aan ons teergeliefde moeder Martha Catharina Cornelia Venter Geb Kruger 12 Des 1888 Oorl 12 Jan 1959 Na ‘n lewe van veel lyding maar met ‘n vaste oortuiging in Christus Ges 58:7 Ruwe storme breek in woede’. ‘Hier rus ons teergeliefde eggenoot en vader Cornelius Pas Venter Geb 5 Des 1917 Oorl 27 Junie 1973 Al lei ons weg deur smart en vrees sal die einde salig wees’
