Mrs. Van Bruggen had been ill for some time with gall bladder trouble and physicians deemed that an operation would be necessary to effect a cure.

She leaves to mourn her passing from this life, her loving husband, and 10 children as follows: Henry, Cora, Dena, Wilson, Arie, Tracy, Alice, Josephine, Theodore and Albert.
