VANDER PLOEG, TJASSE AND TAKJE (VALK)

Tjasse Vander Ploeg was born on Jan. 23, 1854, and Takje Valk was born on March 13, 1855, both in Uithuizen, Netherlands. They ware married there on May 12, 1879.

Tjasse was a clothing salesman in a small store, but business was not prosperous and decided to go to America, and in May, 1881, they started out. It was a very slow and difficult voyage as no modern conveniences were at hand and many hardships. They had two small children and they were sick during the voyage. For twenty-seven days they sailed the sea and finally arrived in Alton, IA, where they were given shelter. The baby, Nicholas, died June 8, 1881, and is buried in Alton, IA.
