See notes under Pieke (Peter) Visser. A good guess is that Thys Broersma maybe knew Peter Visser from Makkum, as they were the same age, were related by marriage, and both immigrated to Ireton within one year of each other, and both married Wichers sisters.

Index to: 1918 Camp Pike, Arkansas, Index to Soldiers' Naturalizations
In 1918, Congress passed a law which waived the five-year waiting period for naturalization, provided the petitioner was in military service. Camp Pike was a large World War I training center for soldiers from all over the U.S., especially the Midwest and Arkansas and surrounding states. This index contains an alphabetical roster of those 3,000 men who took advantage of the law, listing name, company and unit, date of birth, country of birth, marital status, and location of the record.
