Betten, of Orange City, one of the original 1843 pioneers in Pella, and a man prominent for fifty years or more in the affairs of northwest Iowa. We reprint here an obituary of Mr. Betten from the Orange City Journal. Antonie J.Betten was born in Noordloos, Netherlands, September 16, 1843. At the age of four years he came to America with his parents who settled at Pella, Iowa. Here he received his education in the public schools, after which time he worked with his father until the time of his marriage in 1865, to Miss Marie Rhynsburger. For fifteen years after his marriage he was engaged in the mercantile business at Pella and in 1871 came to Sioux County settling at Orange City. He was engaged in the mercantile business here, until he was elected county auditor Sioux County. From this time one, he served the county in the capacity of auditor, treasurerand as member of the Board of Supervisors. He also served the town of Orange City as mayor, councilman and member of the school board. In thechurch he served as deacon and clerk of the consistory and was a trustee of the N. W. C.

In 1895 he purchased "De Volksvriend" and edited and published it for six years when he sold the paper again and returned to the mercantile business as a member of the firm ofthe John Vande Steeg Co. He remained here until the store was destroyed by fire when he retired from public life. His wife and three of his children preceded him in death. In 1898 he was married to Miss Cornelia Vander Linden, who, with his four children survive him.
