THE DUTCH SETTLED CLOVER VALLEY

from Spindrift Magazine, Spring, 1996, page 16

Dutch settlers who came to Clover Valley on North Whidbey did not find a primrose path. Instead, they found acres of forest to clear by hand and with horse power, crops to plant on the cleared land, cabins to build, and their families to care for.

When Klaas NICOLAI came from the Netherlands to Canada, he stayed there two years before moving to North Whidbey. Mrs. Dick Van RENSUM, born Dena NICOLAI, was four when she came with her parents. She remembered that her father found plenty to do in the fertile valley where trees produced lumber for homes and where home grown fruits and vegetables were the Hollanders’ staff of life.

In an interview in 1970 Mrs. Van RENSUM recalled that her mother was the midwife for the Valley, and people came from all over North Whidbey to have Mrs. NICOLAI help them with cuts and bruises. When a baby was due in the area and the one doctor found that she was with his patient, “he knew she would be all right until he got there.”

KLAAS worked as a farm hand in Clover Valley and cleared his own land as he could. Stores in Oak Harbor remained open late at night so farmers could buy provisions after the long work day. KLAAS walked to town at night and carried groceries for the family in two gunny sacks across his shoulders.

Dena recalled hearing him coming from the top of the hill, singing and whistling. “He was a happy man,” she said.

Highlight of the week was Sunday, when young people walked twice a day from the Valley to church in Oak Harbor. Dena’s first husband was Dick GERRITSON who worked for Antone MULLER on his Crescent Harbor farm, referred to as the “Gould Ranch.” When GERRITSON died, his widow married Dick Van RENSUM.

Dena told how many of the Hollanders on North Whidbey came with little money, but a great sense of survival. They worked for their neighbors to get enough money to feed and clothe their families, and before and after work cleared land of timber and planted, built homes and barns.

Some of the Dutch families who lived in Clover Valley were RIKSEN, NIENHUIS, RONHAAR, KAMMENGA, KAMPS, ABRAHAMSE, BEEKSMA, HARSCH, John SMITH, TJEERDSMA, JONGWAARD, Andrew SMITH, Hiram SMITH, KOETJE, Van NIEUWENHUIZEN, BALDA, PETERSMA, NICOLAI, HELLER, PLOEGSMA, DeWILDE, FABEr, and EERKES.

The old homesteads have vanished into Navy runways, schools, barracks and administration sites of Ault Field, but many of the succeeding generations still live and work on North Whidbey.
