The Sioux County Cemetery Index has Adrianna Visser, 1874-1960, buried Memory Gardens, Sioux Center.

There appears to be some confusion with John Visser, his two wives' names and what children belonged to who, and/or among two generations of Vissers. See also the obituaries for John Visser (1863-1926), his son Thomas Visser (1914-1965), and Mrs. John Visser (1859?-1908).
