John Deur was born in Holland, Michigan on May 7, 1861 - the youngest son of George Deur and Marrigje Visser. His parents immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands in October 1847.
He was married to Gezina Ten Cate on May 25, 1883 in Holland, Michigan. He and Gezina had nine children- eight boys and one girl. Their names from eldest to youngest were George, Daniel, Martin, Benjamin, Gerrit, Herman, Hattie Henrietta,
Hendrik Eugene, and Theodore Roosevelt Deur. Their first three or four children were born while John and Gezina lived with John's parents on their farm. This was not altogether a happy arrangement. The farm consisted of only forty acres of
very poor soil from which they scarcely could eke out a living. After John's mother passed away, John and Gezina and John's brothers moved to other farms in an effort to better their lots. . In 1908 or there about, this farm was sold and
John bought an eighty acre farm two miles northwest of Fremont, Michigan, which had a large frame house and adequate farm buildings. The soil was excellent and good crops greatly improved the family economic situation. The John Deur
children grew to adulthood in Fremont. The older boys left the parental home to set up homes of their own. Each one was given half of his earnings, an arrangement between father and sons, a horse and buggy on reaching the age of 21 years
or marriage, which ever came first. This probably being an inducement to get them to strive for their own.
He died on September 2, 1926 in Fremont, Newaygo County, Michigan from a cerebral hemorrhage. John Deur was known for having a rather volatile temper, his straight forwardness, his ability as a farmer and his extreme devotion to his
family and religious beliefs. He and Gezina are buried in the Maple Grove Cemetery in Newaygo County, Michigan.
