Mrs. Ed. J. Kraai Mother of Four - Passed on Thursday
Mrs. Edward J. Kraai (nee Elizabeth De Vries) passed away last Thursday at the age of 45 years and 10½ months.
She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob De Vries and was born at Orange City, growing to womanhood here, and on January 3, 1906, was wedded to Mr. Edward J. Kraai. They moved to the farm, where they prospered and in 1923 moved to town when her husband entered business in Orange City:
She was a real "home body," her family meaning the world to her, but was a faithful, member of Trinity Reformed church. Parting with the beloved wife and mother, the bereaved husband and children have the deepest sympathy of the community in their dark hour of sorrow.
The funeral services were at Trinity church on Monday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. J. Van Zomeren, being assisted by Rev. J.D. Dykstra, pastor of the American Reformed church.
Besides the husband and three children, Donald, Edna and Gerald, she is survived by her mother, Mrs. Dora De Vries of Orange City. One child, Dorothy, died in Infancy. Three brothers, John J. De Vries of Long Beach, Cal., Jake and Charles, both of Orange City, also survive their sister. The former could not come from California on account of ill health.
Many friends came to pay their last respects, among those from away being the following: Mr. and Mrs. W. Klay, Long Beach, Cal.; Mr. and Mrs. T. Salie, Edgerton, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Den Ouden, Chandler, Minnesota; Mr. and Mrs. Phil Odens, of Springfield, S.D.; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Anderson, Sibley. Mr. and Mrs. A. Koele Cornelius Koele of Sheldon, and others.
