Notes

Marriage

After Hendrik died, Geziena lived with son Derk, refusing to leave the old homestead and cooking in her own part of the house, as was agreed when the family's 100 acres was divided evenly between Derk and Jan Harm. She once noticed oil slicks on their creek and predicted that the land contained oil, which was later discovered and tapped by the Boeve family. She died of apoplexy while Derk was preparing to relocate to South Olive, MI.
