Narrative

Moved to USA according to Hendrik Ludolff Rolffs book (Cornelia's brother Willem was in Newton to welcome them, and they journeyed to the town of Sully, Iowa by way of the M & St.. L. Railroad. Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad}
Much of the town of Sully was curious about the arrival of the "Dutchmen". They gathered at the depot to see them get off the train, but Willem knew his tired family didn't need a welcome like that, so he hurried them off the train on the side away from the depot and they all walked to the home of their Aunt Tante Ryntje (the widow of Dirk Vos, Cornelia's brother)
