Zondag passed away under Middleburg after a long and painful suffering Jan VerHoef, the 23-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Teunis Verhoef. It will be remembered that this young man had a leg cut off in the summer because of a cancerous growth. He had recovered from it so well that last autumn he was able to plow again with the help of a knucklebone. However, the ailment had just been healed. Later the cancer broke out again at the back of his head and now he had been sleeping with it for a year, until death put him out of his misery on Sunday. The funeral will be today.
