MRS. JAKE BOOMGAARDEN, February 19 1938. Death took from the Ellsworth community one of its oldest residents when Mrs. Jake Boomgaarden of six miles south of town answered the final summons Saturday morning. Her death was due to double pneumonia, for it was God's appointed time for her to return to her Maker.
Harmanna Freerks was born December 7 1858 at Pekin Illinois. Her parents were Martin C. Freerks and his wife, Evertje Weston(West). While she was still quite young the family moved to Grundy county Iowa.
On October 17 1876 she was married to Jacob Boomgaarden in Pleasant Valley township, Grundy county Iowa by the Rev De Beer. They lived in Grundy Center and in 1892 came to Lyon county Iowa where they farmed the same land until 1914 when death took her husband on October 14 of that year. Mrs. Boomgaarden then moved into her present home where she died at the age of 79 years 2 months and 12 days.
Sixteen children were born to this union, two of whom died in infancy and four others in the past eight years. Her death is mourned by the following children: Elizabeth, Mrs. Webo Jansen, George Iowa; Jacob, Wahpeton ND; Edward, Pipestone Minnesota; George, Midland township; Anna, Mrs Edward Akkerman, Kanaranzi township; William, Holland Minnesota; Albert, Baudette, Minnesota; Louis, Magnolia Minnesota; Amelia, Mrs. John Groen, Midland township; and Herman, Pipestone Minnesota as well as four brothers and a sister.
