Obituary - Attempted translation:
Wednesday 24 Aug was for a day of the news, as the Lord was pleased to take away my love and loved ones man Siebe in the age of 60 years 8 months and 14 days. For more than 37 years, was really connected to him in marriage . With 6 children to mourn him, will leave a limbo in the heart and house, not grieving as those who have no hope. Calmly he lay down on the sickbed, several times his desire for the eternal, speaking.
To worship the Lord is our desire. He's the Lord. The grieving widow with her Children, Geertje Jager Dijkstra Orange City IA 27 Aug 1898.
