After already taking to the grave three beloved lives, all in adulthood, I am struck
on Thursday, April 29, by the saddest loss of my life when the Lord took to Himself
my beloved wife Jansje Beyer-Van de Steeg at the age of 65 years and 9 months, after
a short illness of just over 9 days.
We were married for 43 years and went through the trials of life together, but we
also enjoyed the blessings that the Lord had prepared for us.
She is not here anymore and I am called to continue the rest of my life without her
sweet presence.
The assurance that she is now in the presence of her Saviour whom she dearly loved
and whom she served with pleasure, comforts us in our path of suffering.
Soon we shall see each other again, and then there will be no sickness, no suffering
and no death, but eternal blessed life in Heaven.
With my children and extended family we gaze after her with heartfelt sorrow, but
also we are strong in the Lord our God.
We wish to express to our neighbors and friends our heartfelt thanks for your sympathy
and help.
In the name of all the family, G. Beyer, Orange City, May 4, 1915.

G. Beyer and wife went to Bussey, Ia, on Friday, on the news that their daughter, Mrs. J. Meyer, was seriously ill and that the child she had just given birth to a few days before had died. Upon their arrival, they learned she was suffering from diphtheria, and they, too, were placed in quarantine with the family. Saturday evening the family here received word that Mrs. Meyer had died at the age of 25. She had only been married for a little more than 1 1/2 years.
The body will be transported here. Thursday afternoon at half past two will be the funeral service. The sympathy is widespread not only for the young husband who lost his wife and child within a few days, but also for the elderly parents, who had to bear the loss within two years of two of their daughters in the prime of their life.
