(Mrs. Wm. Vander Burg), Hermina, (Mrs. Robert Macy), and Dorothy (Mrs. John W. Hofmeyer), all living here, and 18 grandchildren.

Mr. Niemeyer has been to asthma many years ago, making him often impossible to go to church. He was generally considered high esteem and was always helpful to those who were needy. The deceased was a member of the Chr. Ger municipality, and was buried from the church of this municipality, under the direction of Dr. R. L. Haan. Carriers were, the three sons and three sons by marriage The deceased during his lifetime had acquired many friends who mourn his passing with the family, convinced, however, that he entered the eternal rest. The text before the funeral speech was Matt 26:39. The Honorable family will be assured of our participation. The consolation of above they also generously bestowed you!
