(From the Sioux County Marriage records Gerrit Van Reulder 35, married Heintje Mouw 36 on Oct 19, 1878 at the brides residence by Rev. J. W. Warnshuis . It is assumed from these accounts the Hendrikus Mouw born 1836 died a few years after coming to Sioux County. In the April 13, 1875 Sioux County Herald it states the Hendricus had his taxes both personal and real abated, given credence to the fact that he couldn’t pay possibly as a result of illness. So it is assumed he died between 1875 and 1877. To date Hendricus’s death was not found in the records or newspapers of the time. )
