Obituary
To this day, June 25, it pleased the Lord, quite unexpectedly, to take away from my side my beloved wife and mother of the children. B. (Barbara) G. Van der Meulen born Terpstra, aged 59 years and 8 months, after a marriage of 43 years. From this marriage 9 children were born, 9 of which were allowed to stare at the remains with me, one had preceded her in Holland. It is hard for us to see the empty place, but we wish God to be silent. To our loved ones and friends our thanks for the help and consolation they so generously gave us at the death and burial of our beloved wife and mother. From the heart of father and children. R. F. Van der Meulen and Children Orange city IA 2 July 1919.
