From Linda, who found listings for burials the Oakwood Cemetary: "Pieter is shown with an incorrect birth year of 1885, rather than 1835. The day of death is correct. He is in Oakwood Cemetery, also Jannigje is shown in the addition section written in the year 1989. She is in Oakwood. Maybe little Martha is there as well, but she is not recorded. Jannigje is shown as Jeanette Kuyper, died 15 Aug 1921, 83 y 9 m 12 d. Oakwood. This section has been added because of researchers and obit information.
From the Iowa GenWeb Project: Bringing with them their thrifty and industrious habits, their sturdy social customs, and their church relationships, the early members of the Kuyper family in America came from the Netherlands, and in 1849 became a part of the Holland colony of Pella, Iowa. In this organization of substantial farmers and upright citizens Peter Kuyper, the first, was a leader, and the grandfather of Louis A. Kuyper, who is part owner and manager of the extensive lumber yards at Pella, the most important in Marion County.
