Mrs. Kastein was an early Sioux County Resident and Came From Netherlands in 1887. Her funeral was Monday.

Mrs. G. Kastein passed on at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jake Wandscheer, Friday afternoon. She had not been well since April but was confined to bed but a few weeks before her passing. She was 70 years of age last December.

Everdina Heusinkveld was born December 13, 1856 in the Netherlands, where she grew to womanhood and was married to Gerhard Kastein in 1883. Four years later the couple came to the United States, lived a short time at Springfield. South Dakota, and then settled at Orange City where for some years Mr. Kastein was caretaker for Lewis brothers there and the family were Orange City residents for 18 years. They went later to Springfield. South Dakota, where they farmed for several years. Mr. Kastein died in 1918 and his widow has since made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Jake Wandscheer.

She is survived by five children, Mrs. John Vos of Boyden, Will Kastein of Hospers, Mrs. Jake Wandscheer, Sioux Center, Henry Kastein, Springfield, South Dakota, and Mrs. Ben Wandscheer, Sioux Center.

She was a splendid woman of the pioneer type and will be missed by many besides her immediate family.

Reverend Stegeman of Hospers, an old friend of the family, had charge of funeral services Monday at the Wandscheer home and Central Reformed church, the pastor, Hev. Keuning, being absent.
