Obituary:


A Pioneer Gone

Leendert Van Pelt was born at Charlois, South Holland, April 6, 1822 and died in Orange City Sunday night. Mr. Van Pelt was one of the early pioneers of the county, coming here from Pella with his family in 1870 which then consisted of his wife and four children, Dirk, Bert, Andrew and Mary. He took up his homestead near town and made a fine farm of it. During the last year or two he had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Ike Vos and had kept around in tolerable health. Sunday morning he was up as usual, smoked his pipe and sat out on the porch for a time. But the machinery was worn out and he passed away peacefully and without pain. Mrs. Van Pelt died five years ago and a daughter Mrs. Van De Steeg in March. Seven children survive, Dirk, Albert, Mrs. Frank Van deStoep, Leendert, Henry, Mrs. J. R. Brink, Mrs. J. G. Van den Berg. There are forty one grandchildren living and eighteen great grandchildren. The funeral took place yesterday at two o'clock from the First Reformed church and was attended by a great number. Mr. Van Pelt passed away surrounded by the evidences on all sides of the remarkable progress in which he and his family had been so large a factor and after an experience to which it is given few men to pass through.

Note: The obituary is incorrect in stating that Leendert had moved here from Pella with his wife and four children in 1870. By 1870, 10 children had been born, one had died in Holland. It should have read Leendert and his wife had first moved to Pella from South Holland with his wife and four children, Dirk, Bert, Andrew and Mary (Maria Adriana).

Died:

It lists his name as Leendert VanPelt, born 4 April 1822 in the Netherlands, died 26 May 1907 in Orange City age 85 years 1 month and 20 days old, cause of death cerebral hemorrhage, son of Dirk Van Pelt and Aartje Barendrecht.

Obituary:


Death of Mrs. L. Van Pelt, sr.

Andrika, wife of Mr. L. Van Pelt, sr., departed this life on Sunday, June 1, 1902, at 1:15 p. m., at the age of 74 years, after long and continued suffering from rheumatism and other ailments common in advanced age.

Deceased was born in Holland in 1828, her maiden name being Andrika Van Iterson; she came to America in 1856 settling in Pella, Iowa. In 1870 with her husband she came to Sioux county, being among the first settlers
of the colony. They settled on a farm just west of Orange City, where they resided until ten years ago, when they built a fine residence in town and retired from the farm.

The death of Mrs. Van Pelt, although not unexpected, brought deepest sorrow to her family and friends, to whom her noble life had endeared her. She was a Christian lady, a devoted wife and indulgent mother. She leaves her aged husband and eight grown children -all of whom were in attendance at the death bed- to mourn her demise.

How sadly the death of this beloved companion falls on the aged husband cannot, in any manner, be fully realized; but when we stop to consider that they have for fifty-four years fought, hand in hand-buffeting the hardships of early days one can begin to realize the loving fidelity which cemented these faithful hearts, and the depth of sorrow its severing bring.

The funeral sermon was preached yesterday afternoon by Rev. Staplekamp at the First Reformed church. The remains were followed to their final resting place in the Orange City cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. THE HERALD desires to extend its sympathy to the family in their great bereavement.
