From the Alton Democrat, December 14, 1928, Orange City news:

Al F. De Haan died at the home of C. De Booy, Sunday afternoon at about 4:30. Deceased was born at Orange City on Jan. 18, 1899. He graduated from the Orange City high school, attended Morningside college, Sioux City for a short time and for the past ten years he filled the position as assistant cashier of the Orange City National Bank

On Dec, 1, 1928, he was united in marriage to Miss Clazena De Booy. Almost immediately after they started on their wedding trip the groom was taken sick with flu and pneumonia, so the couple returned home two days later. His condition caused great anxiety, but still hope for recovery was held until Sunday noon when his condition took a turn for the worse and he died that same day.

He leaves a grief-stricken widow and parents, three sisters and three brothers. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the First Reformed church, Rev. H. Colenbrander and Rev. J. D. Dykstra officiating.
