Sioux Center Nieuwsblad of Wednesday April 29, 1903
B. W. Jansen and wife along with a small crowd of children, grandchildren and other relatives, commemorated the day on which 50 years ago they were married on 28 Apr 1853. They left Pieterburen Groningen, and 12 days later they stepped in Rotterdam on board a sailing ship. After 80 days they landed in New York. An 8 day journey brought them from there to Chicago where they had their first marriage years, from Chicago they went first to Muscatine, and later they came in 1872 to Sioux County IA where they were farmers.
