Age 39. Children in the Henry & Harmke Freerks home: Hilke 16y - German-born Dina 12y - German-born Hauke 0y - Kossuth Co., IA-born

Harmka had two husbands, Mr. Peters(or Mr. Groun) and Henry Freerks (or Frericks). Could Groun be spelt Groen?

The next family is headed by Hugo Freerks.

6 June 1900 German Twp., Kossuth Co., IA Census: Harmke's two daughters, Albertina Peters by her first marriage, and Hauke? Freerks by her second marriage are listed living with Henry & Harmke; however, Harmke is reported as having givenbirth to two children & that only one is alive 6 June 1900. Is it possible that Albertina Peters, listed as a step-daughter of Henry Freerks is also a step daughter of Harmke? Perhaps Mr. Peters was married prior to his marriage toHarmke Sleper. His daughter, Albertina, may be from his first marriage. Of course, the enumerator could be mistaken about the numbers.

Another possibility is that the first number, two, was understood by Henry or Harmke to mean the number of living children. If a child died in infancy, then the total for Harmke would be three.

'... I found the wpa index to Hancock co. Bingham twp had Henry and Harmke Freerks mispelled as Freerka making it difficult for me to find but the site list that his obituary is in Garner Leader and The Signal. What is there is that heis survived by his wife Harmka Grown, Children Mrs. Herman Kouper, Mrs Olga Schroener, (which I take to be my aunt Dena Schoeper) and Mrs. Geiko Freerks (which I take to be my grandmother Mrs. Heiko/Hauko Freerks). Henry died Mar. 8 1936and Harmke died in mar. 28, 1937 and after that many moved to Oregon. Helen Freerks, John and Edith, Joe Swede and wife, Hattie Barton Perton Nix; Harriet, Martin, Betty and Harry McCall. We, the Kruses moved there in 1943. Great AuntDena lived there before us. Aunt Hattie (Annie) had 2 children by Barton Helen and Glenn, and 2 by Perton, Marie and Harold (Kids are still living) ...'
