De Volksvriend of Aug 9, 1900 In Dutch
Translated:
Our sincere condolences to neighbor W. Marra and the people who miss the 16-year-old son who died in the night. Last night the child was apparently feeling as usual, and death occurred before 2 o'clock. A hemeplewing (blood clot?) was perhaps the direct cause, but the boy was constantly suffering from a heart condition, which could kill life in a quiet way. Thursday afternoon the earth order will take place and the religious exercise will be held in the church of the First Reformed. The God of the Covenant be of support to the mourners.

A report on ancestry.com ( by others) lists Wytze Theunis Marra born 14 Aug 1841 Tzummarum Friesland died 16 Sep 1919 Orange City, Sioux, IA. Wife was Doutje Jelle Terpstra. Lists the son that died as Pieter Theunis Marra born 9 Jul 1884 Orange City, IA died 8 Aug 1900 Orange City, IA
