Notes about Mina Geertruida SCHOLTEN

The wife of the old man speaks:

“Remark and see that I declare
The two in red are my father’s brothers.
The two in green are my mother’s brothers.
The two in white are my children
and I, the mother, am married to the father of these six
That no degree of kinship can forbid.”

Two two sons in red say:
“We would have regretted if not
our niece had been given to our father
Because she is not our father’s niece
Which nobody would easily guess.”

From Karel married on March 2, 1892 at age 25 with 27-year-old Mina Geertruida Scholten. Mina was born on September 26, 1864 in Zutphen and was deceased on November 20, 1950 in Alton, 86 years. They are immediately after their marriage emigrated to America.

From Hatti Dykstra: . Mina Geertuida Scholten b. 25 Sept 1864 Zutphen, d. 20 Nov 1950 in Orange City, IA. She married Karel Wissink (1867-1956). They lived on a farm near Alton, IA and later in Orange City, IA. Northwestern College Chapel is located where their house was, at the south end of Central Avenue. I remember her very well. She was a tiny lady, couldn't speak much English, and was very deaf. Her husband, Oom Karel was a half brother of my grandmother, Jenneken Scholten (1853-1917) . They had several children who died at a very young age. Two reached maturity, Charles, and Gerrit, I believe one became a minister.
