Both are buried in Green Hill Cemetery. No children Harm Dirk JANSSEN born May 3, 1882 in Upleward, Ost., died Sept 18, 1915 in Rock Falls, IL, married to Henrietta DANIELS (cousin to Sophie) Mar 1, 1910. Four children. Margaretha Dirk JANSSEN born Jun 2, 1891, Logan Co, IL, died May 24, 1910 Logan Co, buried Green Hill Cemetery, married Siebel POPPENGA Dec. 1909 or Jan 1910. Talke Erdmoet's father's name was Harm Janssen EERDMOUT (Erdmoed, etc), born Jun 2, 1826 in Campen, Ostfriesland and a sister named Saarke EERDMOUT born Feb 5, 1867 in Campen. We think they may have immigrated around 1885, as no death record for the father can be found in Ostfriesland, nor marriage or death record for Saarke. Does anyone have any information? Thanks.
