Bakker, Wiegert or Wiegman 1878 -1945 buried in West Lawn cemetery at Orange City IA . There is a headstone that clearly stated Wiegert Bakker 1878-1945.

Note: The submitter spent hours hunting for the obit, non found, and for any information regarding this burial.
Only thing initially found was a listing in the Netherlands records for a Wichman Bakker born Dec 3, 1878 in Harderwijk Geld Netherlands to Willem Bakker 1852-1937 and Aaltje Van Oene 1858-1889.
Another thought is that this could be William Bakker who is listed in the 1920, 1930 and 1940 census as a single man born about 1879 Netherlands (came to USA about 1913) living with the Henry Bos family in Elgin Plymouth Co. IA. In the Passenger lists of 1913 found Weegman Bakker 34 , he did come with the Hendrik Bos family Sept 13th 1913 sailing from Rotterdam on the Nieuw Amsterdam ship.
Just verified! Gerritje (Mrs. Hendrik Bos) was a Bakker sister of William/weegman/Wiegert Bakker. They were children of Willem Bakker and Aaltje van Oene as suspected.
