Narrative

Hendrik Jacobus was the oldest child of Hendrik and Cornelia Rolffs. He was born June 4, 1898 at Sprang Capella. He came to America with his parents and went to work as a hired farm hand for several area farmers: John Meppelink, Dick Decker (a brother of Tante Ryntje Vos), and Lane Van Rees on the Jake Brand farm on the County line road. It was here his health began to fail because of Tuberculosis. He spent four to five years in the Betheseda Sanatorium in Denver, Colorado. When his health permitted he worked on a dairy farm while living there. His Tuberculosis metastasized to his bones and later affected his right leg. He returned home and spent his remaining days with his parents who were then living south of Sully. Hendrik died March 29, 1928 at the age of 30 years. He is buried in the Sully, Iowa cemetery, beside his parents. (Source: Hendrik Ludolf Rolffs book)
