Obituary of Willempje

From the Lynden Tribune, 29 Jan 1914:
"Mrs. De Vos passed away Sunday, January 25th, at 12:40 P. M., at the age of 83 years, 1 month and 25 days. Funeral services were held yesterday at the Christian Reformed church, Rev. A. Brink conducting the services, and the remains were interred in Monumenta cemetery.

Mrs. De Vos was born in Gelderland, Netherlands. Her husband Wm De Vos, died six years ago. Eight children were born to them, five of whom survive. They are, Mrs. John Hanover, of Lynden, Mrs. J. Vandermey, Mrs. H. Vandermey, of New Era, Michigan, Mrs. A. Schadenberg, of New Era, and Mrs. J. Koster, of Hudsonville, Michigan. Mrs. De Vos came to Lynden in 1910 with Mr. and Mrs. N. Bronsmea. After the death of Mrs. Bronsema she made her home with Mr. and Mrs. J. Hanover.

Mrs. De Vos lived a Christian life in the days of her youth she chose the Lord as her Master, Jesus as her Saviour. In her old age the word of God remained firmly in her mind and she had no fear of death. She passed away peacefully and rejoicing in her faith."
