Notes about Johannes Hermanus Beelen

JOHN H. BEELEN, farmer and dairyman of Buchanan township, and one of the highly respected citizens of his community, whose farm of sixty-two acres is located in section 28, is a native of Holland and was born July 2, 1864, a son of Martin and Elizabeth (Toonen) Beelen, natives of that country. They came to America in 1868, settling in the town of Buchanan, where Mr. Beelen bought eighty acres of raw timber land. His first work on this property was to cut down and hew trees and build a log cabin, two stories in height, 18x24 feet, and in this house he lived until 1882, then built a frame structure, 18x28, two stories, with a wing 16x26, and in this house he lived practically all the remainder of his life, dying May 23, 1906, at the advanced age of eighty-one years. His wife passed away August 6, 1894, in her seventy-third year, and is buried in Little Chute, the father having been interred at DePere, Wisconsin. John H. Beelen was the youngest of four children, and he secured his education in the district schools, remaining at home with his parents until he was twenty-six years old. He then engaged in farming his father's property, later farmed on rented property for eleven years and finally bought the place on which he now lives, the old family homestead, where he has been successfully operating since 1899. He was married in 1897 to Miss Anna M. Coonen, daughter of Martin and Catherine (Verstegen) Coonen, also natives of Holland, who were married in Little Chute, Outagamie county. They remained in Little Chute for about one year after marriage and then bought the homestead of Mrs. Coonen's widowed mother in Buchanan, to which they moved, the father now being seventy-one years old and the mother sixty-two. Mr. Coonen was a soldier during the Civil War. Mrs. Beelen was the fifth of a family of eleven children, and was born November 12, 1874. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Beelen: Catherine Elizabeth, Rosella Peternella, Martin Alexander and Richard Peter. Mr. Beelen has fifty-five acres under cultivation, all fenced with barbed and woven wire. He carries on general farming, markets dairy products, hay and grain, sugar beets and potatoes, and milks six cows, keeping the mixed Jersey, Holstein and Guernsey breed, and Poland China hogs. He remodeled his house in 1908, making it an up-to-date, two-story, frame structure of thirteen rooms, in addition to clothes closets, pantry and stairways and halls. His finished basement barn is 22x68 feet, and was built by Mr. Beelen's father in 1871, and he expects to put up a new barn in a short time. Mrs. Beelen, like her husband, is of an enterprising turn of mind, and has had much success in raising White Wyandottes, Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red chickens. Mr. Beelen is a believer in the value of life insurance and carries a $1,000 endowment policy in the New York Mutual, as well as holding miembership in the Catholic Order of Foresters for $1,000. In political matters he is a Democrat, and for nine years has been a member of the school board. With his family he attends Holy Guardian Angels Church of Darboy.
