Notes about Gerrit Koenen

Op 8 april 1905 wordt navolgend bericht in de krant De Eemlander geplaatst: "Men schrijft ons uit Bunschoten: Donderdagavond omstreeks half tien bemerkte men ten westen van ons dorp een ongewonen rooden gloed. Duidelijk was 't zichtbaar dat er brand was. Meende men aanvankelijk, dat 't buiten onze grenspalen zou zijn, weldra kondigde het luiden der torenklok aan, dat het binnen onze gemeente aan den Eemdijk moest zijn. De brandweer spoedde zich met bekwamen spoed naar de plaats des onheils en daar aangekomen bleek dat de arbeiderswoning van G. Koenen inmiddels al een prooi der vlammen was geworden. De Eemdijker brandwacht, was reeds ter plaatse en had het hare gedaan om het belendend perceel van R. Hoeve Hz. tegen het vuur te bewaren, waarin zij volkomen slaagde. Verzekering dekt de schade. Oorzaak onbekend. Nog in den zelfden nacht is echter de eigenaar en bewoner door de politie in voorloopige hechtenis genomen."

Het betreft hier de woning van Gerrit Koenen en zijn buurman Rijk Hoeve. Gerrit woonde aan het haventje iets ten noorden van de pont over de Eem. Of Gerrit Koenen vervolgd is en hoe hij er van af is gekomen, is niet bekend. Het gezin is later dat jaar vertrokken naar Eemnes. In 1908 verhuisde het gezin naar Baarn.
