Notes about Willem de Weerd

Evangelist in Klazienaveen-Noord, bekend geworden als de Domeneer van Turfland.

Slaagde in 1903 voor de acte godsdienstonderwijzer. Van 1904 tot zijn overlijden in 1946 verrichtte hij pionierswerk voor de evangelisatievereniging Immanuël onder de veenarbeiders in Klazienaveen. Hij was begaan met het lot van de mensen, probeerde hun levensomstandigheden te verbeteren en normen en waarden bij te brengen. Meermalen werd hij met de dood bedreigd. Om geld bij elkaar te krijgen voor een kerk ondernam hij bedeltochten door heel het land. Hij ging bij ministers op audiëntie om te pleiten voor zijn mensen. Met zijn eerste boek De domeneer van Turfland (1916) vestigde hij de aandacht van christelijk Nederland op de geestelijke en maatschappelijke nood van de mensen in de Zuidoost-Drentse venen.
