Notizen bei Hendrik Jan Beernink

HENDRIK JAN BEERNINK (1820 - 1883) Henry John arrived on the ninth of August 1847, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a prominent port on the Delaware River. He had boarded that ship at Rotterdam, along with his brother Willem and 90 other passengers. Henry's baggage consisted of one chest. That chest probably, contained his tailoring tools and supplies. He moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he was employed as a tailor. Word must have reached him there telling of the disaster which caused the loss of many Netherlander's lives when the propeller ship known as the Phoenix caught fire and sank on the 21st of November 1847. That happened while in sight of Sheboygan harbor, about five miles away in Lake Michigan. Perhaps that event, especially the survivorship of Gerritjen Oberink of Varsseveld led him to move to Wisconsin. He settled in Milwaukee to set up shop as a tailor. He married Gerritje on 11 June 1848. They had five children, none of whom lived beyond early childhood. Gerritje died on 15 October 1858. Not long after that, in Holland, Michigan, where he was living with an aunt and uncle family, he married Johanna Hendrika Hagens, a native of Welsum, Overijssel. Returning to Milwaukee, he was chosen as a Deacon of the Dutch Reformed Church, serving many years. When the first church building was to be built he was one of the men who felled trees in the tamarack swamp hauling them to the building site. He would sew many garments during the off season, building an inventory for sale. After harvest, when the roads had dried or frozen, he would load his wagon with those garments, travel the forty miles to Cedar Grove and another five miles to Oostburg. There he would auction the clothing. He lived in the customers' homes while altering the garments to fit the buyers. Their son Samuel slept in the loft of their house. Winter weather often penetrated the structure and snow seeped thru the cracks onto his bed comforters. One nice thing about it being cold, he said, was that it helped save the snow apples he had harvested from trees in their yard. From his bed he could reach out and have an apple. Henry and Johanna prospered. They expanded the tailoring business to become a dry goods store, which later became a general store.
