Cornelius and Jantja Kuper Family

Cornelius H. Kuper was born at Holthusen, Heide, Germany, Feb. 22, 1837. His wife, Jantja, was born at Wymeer, Sept. 10, 1840. This couple was married in their native land in 1862, and five children were born.

In the spring of 1882, Harm, Dick, John, Christian, and Folkert, with their parents, left Germany, immigrating to the United States. They settled in Grundy County, Iowa where they remained one year.

Then for five years they lived in Harding County, before coming to the Lennox area in 1888. Here they farmed for many years.

Cornelius passed away Nov. 8, 1912, on the farm. Jantja moved to Lennox and lived there until her death in 1926.

Death cert. has dob = 8 Oct 1837; fath=Harm Kuper moth-maiden=Maggie Berens dod = 8 Oct 1912; cause of death: Thoracic aneurism.

The date of birth on the d.c. seems to be an error because the dd/mm of birth & death are the same. The d.c. was signed by the physician on 9 Oct 1912 & filed by the Clerk of Courts 12 Oct 1912.

Author: Hull, LaRie, Title: KUPER.GED file, (Publication location: Fergus Fls., MN, Publisher: LH, Publication date: xv Feb MCMXCVI) for middle name = Harms.

Wassersucht = dropsy. L/O means the information came from the local news & obituary.

Note: The Wymeer OSB below assigns Cornelius to be the son of Harm Harms Kuiper & Grietje Berends. This seems to agree with Cornelius H. Kuper's death certificate. It is my hypothesis that Grietje Berends & Grietje Berends Klaassen is one & the same lady.
