Today, after a long suffering, our beloved daughter: Gertie, died at the age of only 24 years, 7 months and 17 days. It is not without reason to believe that she has gone to her Lord and Savior in the Father's house above. Unbearably, she has experienced the world's sorrows and sorrows. Just 5 years ago she married Benjamin F. Tailor (Taylor), with whom she lived only 2 ½ years, when it pleased the Lord to take him from her side; 3 years and a half months after that the Lord also picks her up. Two children are left behind, one of which is over 3 and the other over 4 years. Also on behalf of the children, Gijsbert De Zeeuw, Hendrikje Van Grevenhof Sioux Center IA, 18 Jun 1900, We also express our heartfelt thanks to all who have assisted us so faithfully during the suffering and death of our daughter.
