Translated:
The Visser family received a telegraph message that Mr. W. Visser died. The funeral is today. Wednesday here. As readers know, the deceased had become seriously ill some time ago, which illness deepened into a soul's sight, and his condition became so serious that commitment to the asylum at Cherokee was necessary. More than five years ago, Mr. Visser came here from the Netherlands with his family. In all healthy days was with a loving husband and father. The family went through a lot during the dark days of his trouble. We express our commitment to the widow and the children. A son, Gysbert, is now in France.
