DeVolksvriend of Feb 20, 1908 In Dutch
Translated: C.A. Dykstra is no more. He died Sunday morning at the age of 29 years, 4 months and 7 days. The young man came to America about 7 years ago and has been struggling regularly ever since. Last summer he made a trip to Chicago, where he visited some doctors in the mood of his state of heath, but found no benefit. He leaves a father, mother, four siters and three brothers. Ds. Van Wijk led the funeral.
