From the Rock Valley Bee, June 12, 1931:

YOUNG MOTHER CALLED HOME

Mrs. Will Kooiman passed away at her home in Inwood early Monday morning [June 8], following an illness of three weeks. The Kooiman family lived in Rock Valley for a year and a half, going from here to Inwood where Mr. Kooiman has charge of the W. C. Kooiman store at that place.

Mrs. Will Kooima was born at Pease, Minn., having lived there practically all her life, until three years ago, when the family moved to Rock Valley. She was twenty-six years old.

She leaves her husband and four small children, one a babe of three weeks, also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hubers, of Pease, Minn., and five brothers and one sister.

Funeral services were held at Inwood Tuesday afternoon and the remains were taken to Pease, Minn., for further services and burial. Relatives and friends regret her untimely death.
