Two pioneer Sioux Center citizens passed away Friday. Mr. Aart Schuiteman died Friday at midnight after being ill since Monday. Mr. Gerrit Hulstein dropped dead Friday morning of a blood clot in the arteries near the heart.

AART SCHUITEMAN, SR.

Mr. Schuiteman was born in the Netherlands in 1862 and came to America with his parents when a young lad of 16 years. The family settled in Sioux County on a farm east of town. Mr. Schuiteman applied himself as a young man and in 1890 he was united in marriage to Miss Whilemina Rensink by the Rev. James De Pree.

Mr. and Mrs. Schuiteman were to have celebrated their 44th anniversary of happy married life next summer. During that time they lived on a farm east of town with the exception of nine years. In 1925 they retired and moved to Sioux Center.

Besides his widow, six children and a brother, Gerrit, survive Mr. Schuiteman. The children are Mrs. Henry Kruizenga, Will Schuiteman, John A. Schuiteman, Mrs. Herman Ennema, Mrs. Edward Schut and Art Schuiteman. One of his daughters, Mrs. [illegible] Navis, preceded Mr. Schuiteman in death, passing away last year.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, 1:00 o'clock at the home and 1:30 at the First Ref. Church, the Rev. L. A. Brunsting officiating. Interment was in the local cemetery.
