Notes about Wilhelmina van der Ben

According to Chris Genneken (b. 1893), "My grandmother [Wilhelmina van der Ben] always wore black and was very religious. She was a very strong minded woman, very capable and independent. She always had English peppermints, oranges and Port wine in the house. She was very fond of cologne, which she spread on a folded hankerchief [sic] and moistened her face with it. I still have the crystal flacon which contained the perfume....After a short time she began to fail and moved to an old ladies' home [Eudskis] where she died in 1902."
