DeVolksvriend of July 23, 1891 In Dutch
Translation attempt:
We are forced to report a sad story at the home of Jacob Van Veldhuizen. During yesterday's violent thunderstorm, the chimney of the back-room was hit. Veldhuizen thought he heard something, immediately got up to see, and immediately he opened the door ? He fell down by lightning stricken death. His brother-in-law, Mr. Fabries, of Chicago, who these days was the guest of the deceased, carried him to the sofa, stripped him of his clothes, but failed to detect any sign of life in him. Another calling voice; Prepare your house, because you will die! The funeral will take place on Friday, 3 a.m. in the First Ref. Church.
