If no-one responds here, I am sure that the Anglo-Boer War Museum in Bloemfontein will have the answer.

Hi
I mistakenly replied on the wrong post! Hope David can correct it!!
Times History Vol III, p590:
".....the Mayor, Dr Kellner, the Landdrost, Mr Papenfus, and Mr J G Fraser of the Executive Council, drove out and formally presented the keys of the town to the British Field-Marshal in token of submission."

Kellner Street is (or was...) one of the main thoroughfares in Bloemfontein - no doubt named after the Mayor
