Notes par Geertje Pluim

The house where the five sons of Willem and Geertje were born isstill there and sheep graze near it in the village. The houseis near a large wooden windmilll called "De Hoop" from whichGerhardus fell as a boy and kept a shortened leg as aremembrance.

It is believed that economic conditions prompted Willem andGeertje to look toward coming to America for opportunities.Willem was 47, Geertje 39, Hendrik 12, Aart 10, Bertus 3, andGerhardus was a baby of less than a year. They traveled on theship, Rotterdam, and arrived in New York on August 28, 1874after a journey of twenty days. With them came Helmert Pluim,Geertje's brother. There was also Geertje, not yet a year old,who was the daughter of Teunesje. The ship's record states thatWillem was a farmer and that the family travelled in the poorestaccomodations. They left with only a thousand gulden in money.Three other brothers of Geertje, Gerrit, Frederick and GerhardusPluim came with them on the same boat with one of them listed asa land owner and traveling with ten thousand gulden.

The ship's record also indicates that their destination wasMichigan, but as far as we know, they came to
Wisconsin. We do not know where they lived for that one year inthe "cheese" state.

Willem did not like it here, and in 1875, one year later, hetook the family back to Elspeet in Gelderland. Back in Elspeet,Willem, no doubt, worked as a day-laborer. In 1877, a fifth boywas born to Willem and Geertje named Christiaan after a son whohad been born in 1869 and died in 1872. Bertus was also namedafter a boy who was born in 1866 and died in 1869. So therewere seven boys born to Willem and Geertje.

On March 5, 1880 Willem died at the age of 53 and was buried thenext day in Elspeet. His grave is marked by a small stone withonly a number on it.

Courageous Geertje again determined to come to America, thistime with her five boys. This was a very daring decision.Possibly, since some of Geertje's brothers were here, shereceived help and encouragement from them. There could alsohave been urging from Hendrik and Aart, her two oldest sons.This time they traveled on the steamship, W. A. Scholten,arriving in New York on August 5, 1881. Geerje was then 46,Hendrik 19, Aart 16, Bertus 10, Gerhardus 7 and Christiaan 4.

Coming to the united States, the family went to Wisconsin andlived for one year somewhere in the Alto area, just where is notknown. After a year, Geertje and the boys moved to GrandRapids, Michigan. To meet the many needs of the family, theolder sons went to work. It is here that Bertus worked in abarrel factory at the tender age of 11.

After about a year, once more made its way back to the Alto areaof Wisconsin where they purchased a house with twenty acres ofland located on Highway 49 about four miles south of Brandon.The house was located on the east side of the road and is nolonger there. We have been told that this was part of theWhiting farm and that the Bossenbroek boys often worked for theWhiting's. It is here that the Bossenbroek boys got their startin understanding and knowing farming in America.

Is is here that the family lived without transportation andwithout church affiliation. Soon after 1885, Dominee J. O.Groenveld, of the Alto Christian Reformed Church, contacted thamand the family became members of the church. The boys werecatechized in the Reformed faith and always remained true to it.

--------------------------------------------

It was the Psalmist David, in the expression of gratitude andhope, who said, "The Lord is the portion o mine inheritance andof my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen untome in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Wetoday, the sons and daughters, who by God's grace have beenbrought to the years of adulthood, have sought to analyze andreview the Providence of the Lord as that Divine Providence hasoperated in our family life. When we consider all that whichour forebearers experienced; their trials, their periods ofsickness, their struggle to obtain the necessities of life andthen last but not least, their trust in God, then we today areagain constrained to say with David, "Who am I, O Lord God? Andwhat is my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?"

It is with this conviction and inner joy that we dedicate thislittle booklet to Father and Mother upon their fiftieth weddinganniversary with the hope that the outstanding facts and eventswhich we have been able to collect may be a source of pleasantmemories for them and serve as an encouragement for us and ourchildren. One can readily see that were we to deal withsocalled branch and little twig of our family tree the resultwould be of great interest though not of specific importance forthis occasion. We shall therefore in this brief family history,limit ourselves to the facts and events on so far as these factsand events are interesting and important to us at this joyfulmilestone in the lives of Father and Mother.

It has been said that God is in the facts of history as truly asHe is in the march of the seasons, the revolution of theplanets, or the architecture of the worlds. We today upon thisoccasion are convinced of that truth for we believe that thehand of God's Providence has guided the footsteps of ourforefathers and of ourselves to the end that this occasion ofjoy in the Lord may be possible.

It was thus, we believe, that the Lord ordered the steps ofGrandfather and Grandmother Bossenbroek. William Bossenbroekand Geertje Pluim were married in Elspeet in the Netherlands andit is there that we begin the family history from Father's side.To Grandfather and Grandmother were born seven children of whomtwo died in their infancy. The remaining five, all boys, wereHenry, Art, Bertus, Gerhardus, and Christian. In the year 1876the family came to the United States. America even then was the"land of opportunity" and many thousands of thrifty Hollandpeople with foresight and concern for their children came tothese shores for a more abundant life. For some reason orother, Grandfather after a year in this land took his familyback to the "old country" and it was there that he passed away.This left Grandmother Bossenbroek alone with five boys. It iswith a deep feeling of admiration that we learn that in 1881 sheand the boys came back to the United States. Life in thoseyears was rugged in more ways thatn one and we are not suprisedthat a mother with five boys in a strange land, far away fromold freinds and relatives, had difficult times. In 1883 we findthat she and the boys moved to Grand Rapids our father, BertusBossenbroek, worked in a barrel factory. But the call of thesoil seemed to be stronger than the call of the city and so in1884 once more this mother and her boys moved back to the Badgerstate and purchased 20 acres of land on the road between Wapunand Brandon which is now known as Highway 49.

In the meantime, of course, the boys were growing up and theirnext move was to the "Whiting farm." Then they moved to the farmwhich was later known as "Uncle Henry's farm" and it was herethat Grandmother Bossenbroek passed away on April 15, 1891. Shewas buried in the Alto cemetery. It also was at this time thatFather began to work as a hired man for several farmers in thenearby vicinity. Father has talked of his experiences as ahired man and mentioned names that still sound familiar; DirkLaandal, Dirk Rens, Solon Halsey, William Schouten and BarneyKloosterboer. Looking back over the years we can readily seethat all these things under the Divine Providence were necessaryto make this occasion possible today. And so the years passedbeing filled with hard work, joy, and sorrows, ambitions andhopes and we come now to the next big event in the history ofour family.
