Obituary:
In the early morning of last Sunday, the Lord took to Him my beloved wife, Berendina G. Oonk, to begin the eternal Sabbath with her Lord. She had reached the age of more than 63 years, of which we extended with the last 16 years in pleasant marriage. One son, married, and two daughters, are married, who had been left to her from a previous marriage, mourn with me this true loss; as well as my sons and a daughter from my previous marriage, for which she was a faithful mother during the time of our Association.
Long was her suffering; and in the last weeks also very heavy; but the Lord gave her grace to bear it patiently; and although with much controversy, she still had the hope that Jesus had called out God for her; It is finished.
Also on behalf of the children and Gerrit Zuetenhorst, We hereby express our thanks to all the friends who so cheerfully assisted her in her suffering, and who have assisted us in disconcertion, Sioux Center 6 Feb 1903.
