A similar, somewhat shorter, obituary in the Rock Valley Bee (Feb. 5) gives the cause of death as an apparent heart attack. It states that he was a farmer near Hull, retiring to Orange City in 1966, and gives his sisters' names as Mrs. Harry Vander Schaaf, Mrs. John Ten Haken, and Mrs. Coba Vande Garde.
