In May 1896, just three years after oldest son, Jan, had gone to America, Sjoukje, with her four remaining children - Johanna, 24; Mindert, 22; Antje, 19; and Sietse, 14 - boarded the Veendam, a steamship of the Dutch-American Lines-, in Rotterdam, and eight days later they arrived in New York City. After a night in a New York hotel they boarded the train which took them to their new home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Here they made their home in a house located on Frylings Alley in the eastern part of Grand Rapids.
On November 27, 1902, Sjoukje, with unmarried son, Mindert, and married daughters, Johanna and Antje and their families followed sons Jan and Sietse who earlier in the year had moved from Grand Rapids to unsettled wooded land about one hundred miles north of Grand Rapids near the village of McBain, Michigan. Here, in Richland Township, Missaukee County, Sjoukje and son Mindert, settled a plot of woods and undergrowth one-half mile west of where brother Sietse had settled in January of the same year.
In 1909, after the marriage of Mindert, Sjoukje moved to a little house on the Sietse Ouwinga farm in Highland Township, Osceola County, which was built by her children. It was in this house that on December 8, 1922, the clothes of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great, great-grandmother were ignited by the coals in her foot-stove, Death is believed to have come as the result of suffocation from the smoke caused by this fire. Funeral services for Sjoukje were held in the Highland Christian Reformed with the Rev. B. Zwaagman officiating. Her children and grandchildren living today remember well the cold trip by horse and buggy from the Highland Church to the Lucas Cemetery where she was buried.
