Another source gives 1879. Robert Kent sent a Family Group Sheet with a year of marriage = 1979, but in the same package, he sent another FGS with hand-written additions with the date 1874. Either this is an error in transcription or he had a 2nd source which he preferred over the FGS enclosure.

One of Evert's daughters died giving birth to a daughter. That granddaughter was raised by her aunt, Minnie (Sleper) Rippentrop. That granddaughter married Ray Wentworth. Based on age, the daughter most likely to be the one who died in child-birth is Alberdina. I am assigning this granddaughter to Alberdina.
