20 Sept 1899 - Peter & Jennie were married in the home of Jan & Remda Groen On page 404, it is written Jan and Remda Groen purchased a farm in Delaware Twp. in 1898 & settled there the next year. Although there seems to be a little inconsistency among the various articles as to when Jan & Remda Groen moved to Delaware Twp. (1889 verses 1898), it seems most likely they were in Delaware Twp. at the time of the marriage of Peter & Jennie.
