From the Alton Democrat, Alton, (Sioux), Iowa, Saturday, May 1, 1920, Page 6, Column 5:

Little Henrietta Heemstra, the two and a half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Heemstra, died on Sunday at St. Joseph's hospital in Sioux City after an operation for appendicitis. Funeral services were conducted Thursday by Rev. D. H. Douwstra of the First Reformed church and burial took place at the Hospers cemetery. No words can express the sympathy of friends to the bereaved parents in the loss of this dear little flower who was passing through the sweet days of childhood, then suddenly taken from us, to laugh and play in a fair and most beautiful clime.
