Note: Aaltje stated in two census records (1900, 1910) that she had given birth to 13 children and 10 were living. We were only able to document 12 children.

Willem and his family first lived in Madison township, Mahaska county and farmed there for several years. According to plat maps, he owned quite a bit of land on both sides of the Des Moines River. On today's map some of it would be along the River Road or G55 in Mahaska County. But by 1910 he and his wife, and the three children left at home had moved to Pella where they remained the rest of their days.
