Overlijdensbericht
In den vroegen morgen van Maandag 27 december werden onze harten in diepen rouw gedompeld, daar ons den zwaren slag trof, dat het den Heere behaagde, om van ons weg te nemen mijne beminde Gade, Coba Wanningen, geb. Berghuis in den ouderdom van ruim twintig jaren, en na eene gezegende echtvereeniging van twee jaren. Groot was onze blijdschap toen twee weken te vooren tweelingen werden geboren. Doch, in den raad des Heeren was onze vreugde van korten duur. De Heere nam de jeugdige moeder tot Zich, na eene korte, ernstige ongesteldheid. Wij verstaan des Heeren wegen niet, noch Zijne gedachten tegenover ons, doch wenschen in Zijn daden te berusten, wetende, dat die enkel wijsheid en goedheid zijn.
Namens de bedroefde familie , Gerrit Wanningen.
P.S. Aan buren en vrienden wordt oprechten dank betuigd voor bewezen hulp en sympathie.

Early Monday morning, 27 December 1926, our hearts were cast into deep sorrow, when we were afflicated a heavy blow, that pleased the Father to take away my beloved mate, Coba Wanningen nee’ Berghuis, age the age of Twenty years, after a blessed marriage of two years. Great was our joy when two weeks before, twins were born. But in the counsel of the Father, our joy was short in duration. The Father took the young mother to Himself, after a short serious illness. We don’t understand the Fathers ways, neither his thoughts, over against ours, but our way and thought are not His. We rest our dersires in Him knowing and trusting in His goodness and wisdom. In the home of the sorrowful family. Gerrit Wanningen. Thanks to the neighbors and friends, for their help and showing sympathy.

Note: Her parents were Peter Berghuis and Aafje Beukelman. Jacoba “Coba” married Gerrit Wanningen and had twins Florence and Floyd born Dec 13, 1926. The mother died when the twins were 10 day old. She is buried at Memory Gardens Sioux Center Cemetery
