Linda:
First of all try this to bring up both obituaries for John B. and wife Coleta on our Sioux county newspaper site.
http://siouxcounty.newspaperarchive.com
You can find by going to advanced but this seems to work better once I found it.
Then click on Browse paper tab.
Then put in 1910 in the year box on the right side and left side.
Then put in Rock Valley Bee on the newspaper line then click Browse.
Go to October 21, 1910, page 1 and there is John B.'s long obituary.
Use same procedure for Coleta.
put 1919 in year on both sides, click on Rock Valley Bee for newspaper then go to Apr 25 issue and page one and there is her obituary. You can print those off yourself by left clicking mouse and rotating the column to print in the window properly, You can adjust size to fit better too. click on print on the icon in the tool bar just above the window. Click on 'current view' then print and then you should get a copy of the obit.
If you have problems I can scan the obits and send a scanned copy to you also.
If you send me your address I will send you a short family story that was in the Rock Valley book. I also will check our surname files for research I did previously for a party from the Netherlands as I recall. I will send that info to your postal address too.
There are lots of Wyffels in our cemetery index on our online site www.iagenweb.org/sioux go to deaths, first searchable line, go to W's etc.
