Joseph Dykstra, 49, World War Veteran, passed away suddenly of a heart attack Tuesday afternoon, January 17, at his farm home northeast of Kent City.
He was born March 2, 1890 in Friesland, Holland and came to this country with his parents as a small child, settling in Grand Rapids where he was employed in the furniture factories for many years. He was a mechanic by trade.
Dykstra enlisted in Co. C, 320th Engineers, serving as one of the Demolition Squad with the Polar Bear Expeditionary forces in Russia during the war. He was seriously injured in an explosion and had been in ill health since then.
April 22, 1920, he was married to Nellie DeYoung and moved to the farm home near Kent City. He was a member of Grand Rapids Lodge No. 449, Ancient Order of United Workmen and of Rudolph Lekstrum Post No. 107, American Legion, at Sparta. Mr. Dykstra was a member of the Kent City Baptist church, a sincere friend to everyone and loved by all who knew him.
Surviving are his wife, Nellie; one son, Louis, at home; two daughters, Josephine at home and Mrs. Charles Afton, Jr. of Kent City; two brothers, William Dykstra of Grand Rapids and Frank Sherman of Kalamazoo, other relatives and a host of friends.
The body was removed to the Bettes Chapel until Wednesday afternoon, then was taken to the farm home to repose until Friday noon.
