Father: Marinus Nicolaas Kriense Lokker 1856 – 1931
Mother: Johanna Marina Bouterse 1857 – 1938
Anton Immigrated on the Ship, Noordam, to America May 24, 1904 at the age of 20. The Ship's registry destination was Kalamazoo, Michigan and he traveled with his cousin, another Dutch Baker, named Cornelius Okkerse who's destination was Passaic County New York.
In April of 1910 Anton relocated to Sayville to manage a bakery business that belonged to his cousin Cornelius.
Anton returned to Cleveland to marry Martha in 1911. It's uncertain when he met his future wife, Martha in Ohio. Martha's family included four(4) young ministers. They were married in Cleveland by the Anton's Minister from Sayville, New York. He naturalized as a American Citizen in 1913.
They soon departed for Marin County, California where Anton obtained his Theology degree from the Presbyterian Missions Center in San Anselmo, CA. They bought a home and considered San Anselmo their primary home throughout their adult life while residing at different Missionary assignment locations in Arizona. These missions were part of a federal government effort to relocate thousands of Native American Children for the purpose of educating them involving them in the normal American society. The children were relocated thousands of miles from their homes. Not unlike Jim Thorpe, who was relocated from his Oklahoma tribal home to a mission school in Pennsylvania. Today, justifiably, some Native Americans still resent being forcibly separated from their parents and their Native American Heritage.
Anton and his wife managed five(5) different Indian Mission locations. They lived on each mission and set up each educational facility. That is why Anton's draft registration, naturalization records and passport filings are located in different Arizona court locations.
The federal funding for the missions disappeared in the late 1920's with the dust bowl and the market crash. In 1927 Anton and Martha traveled on a Mission sponsored trip to Holland and then lived in New Jersey during the depression. In 1935, they returned to mission sites in Arizona that were about to be managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1964, they bought a second home in the Del Webb community of Sun City Arizona. In 1972 Anton Passed away and Martha died at the age of 93 and is buried with Anton in Sun City, AZ.
