"HEIKO AND GRACE MEYERING By Ruth Edwards

Heiko made the journey across the Atlantic Ocean to America from Bellingvolde, Holland when he was four years old in 1914, with his parents, John and Everdena (Raatjes) Meyering and his brothers, Tony, Ben, John and Henry, and sister,Trena. they joined Heiko's older brother, Jerry, and sister, Minnie, who settled in Kamrar, Iowa in 1913. the tickets they used to cross the ocean were compliments of a farmer who was impressed with the work that Jerry did tiling forhim.

The Meyering family rented 120 acres to start farming as well as tiled others' land. In 1918, they rented a total of 360 acres near Buffalo Center. The field work was done with horse-drawn machinery. they milded 12 to 13 cows by handand raised hogs, cattle, sheep, and chickens. In 1926, they moved to a 300-acre farm owned by J. J. Guyer and three other people, and rented another 160 acres. John passed away in 1938 and Everdena in 1940.

Obituary for Mrs. John Meyering, provenance unknown:

"Obituary of Mrs. John Meyering
----
nee Everdena Raatjes, was born in Bellingswolde, Groningen, Holland, on July 13, 1868, and died in her home in Buffalo Center, Iowa, on May 19, 1941, at the age of 72 years, 10 months and 6 days. On August 3, 1889, she was united in marriage to John Meyering, and in 1914 the Meyering family, including the 8 children, came to America. They resided at Kamrar, Iowa, until 1918, at which time they moved to Buffalo Center. Her husband preceded her in death in 1939, also at the age of 72 years. Of the ten children, two also preceded the parents in death.

The great loss and sorrow that came upon her at the death of her husband had a continued depressing effect upon her. She had lost the desire to continue her life on earth. And, when sickness came she lacked the courage and the determination to fight on. Her recent illness came upon her a few months ago, and for the last week she had been confined to her bed. She lost consciousness several days before her death, and thus she passed into the great beyond. She leaves to mourn her departure the following children: Mrs. John Abels, Buffalo Center; Jerry, Alden; Ben, Blairsburg, Tony, Buffalo Center; Henry, John Jr., and Trena at home; and Heiko, Buffalo Center.

There remain also 18 grand-children, and 6 great grand-children. One sister, Mrs. John Gaarning, and one brother, Garrelt Raatjes, both of Holland, aslo survive, as do two half-sisters and one half-brother, and other, more distant relatives and friends."
