From the Sioux County Herald, July 3, 1907:

Attorney G. Klay yesterday afternoon received a telegram from Jerry Wassenaar at Moosejaw, Canada, announcing the death of Mrs. Wassenaar and that he would start with the remains the same evening. The funeral has been arranged for Friday afternoon from the First Reformed church. No other particulars will likely be learned until the arrival of Wassenaar. She was the youngest sister of Mrs. R. Lubbers, Mrs. M. Verberg, Mrs. H. Spinden, John Heemstra, Rev. J. F. Heemstra and Albert Heemstra.

No additional information was found in the following week's Herald. Her husband's obituary (Alton Democrat, Sept. 28, 1907) gives his name as Jurrie, and the Sioux County Cemetery Index gives it as Juire.

The Sioux County Cemetery Index has Wassenaar, Tryntje (Kate) nee Heemstra, born 17 June 1868, died 1 July 1907, buried West Lawn Cemetery, Orange City.
