Narrative |
In 1897 Hendrik married Cornelia Vos and she became the mother of his two small children. They were blest with six children of their own. Hendrik continued in the occupation of his forefathers and practiced the art of Blacksmithing. He had a shop behind the house they lived in. The family lived in the village of Sprang Capella, (in the province of Noord Braband). All the children were born there. Life was very difficult at the turn of the century and the lure of the new life in America seemed inviting to many Hollanders. Hendrik and Cornelia felt there wasn't much of a future for their growing family in Holland, and in 1914, under the sponsorship of Willem Vos, a brother of Cornelia, they set sail from their home on the ship Nortdam, along with Cornelia's sister Marie and her husband Adrian Geenen and family. The family all sailed for America, except their son Willem, who chose to stay behind and fulfill a military obligation with the Horse Cavalry. |

Narrative
A FAMILY
A family is a precious thing,
A really priceless treasure,
Its value more than gold or jewels
Is far beyond all measure.
It holds a world of special love
And in its fold you'll find
Hope and faith and deep content
Joy and peace of mind.
A family shares together
Life's happiness and tears,
Its strength and courage multiply
Through all the passing years.
It has its little shining dreams,
Its disappointments too,
But somehow always manages
To come on smiling through.
It's one of God's true blessings
Guided from above,
A family is the symbol
Of hope and faith and love.
