HENDRIK JAN BEERNINK (1820 - 1883) Henry John arrived on the ninth of August 1847, at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, a prominent port on the Delaware River. He had boarded that ship at Rotterdam, along with his
brother Willem and 90 other passengers. Henry's baggage consisted of one chest. That chest probably,
contained his tailoring tools and supplies. He moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he was employed as a tailor.
Word must have reached him there telling of the disaster which caused the loss of many Netherlander's lives
when the propeller ship known as the Phoenix caught f ire and sank on the 21st of November 1847. That
happened while in sight of Sheboygan harbor, about f ive miles away in Lake Michigan. Perhaps that event,
especially the survivorship of Gerritjen Oberink of Varsseveld led him to move to Wisconsin. He settled in
Milwaukee to set up shop as a tailor. He married Gerritje on 11 June 1848. They had f ive children, none of
whom lived beyond early childhood. Gerritje died on 15 October 1858. Not long af ter that, in Holland, Michigan,
where he was living with an aunt and uncle f amily, he married Johanna Hendrika Hagens, a native of Welsum,
Overijssel. Returning to Milwaukee, he was chosen as a Deacon of the Dutch Ref ormed Church, serving many
years. When the f irst church building was to be built he was one of the men who f elled trees in the tamarack
swamp hauling them to the building site. He would sew many garments during the of f season, building an
inventory f or sale. Af ter harvest, when the roads had dried or f rozen, he would load his wagon with those
garments, travel the f orty miles to Cedar Grove and another f ive miles to Oostburg. There he would auction
the clothing. He lived in the customers' homes while altering the garments to f it the buyers. Their son Samuel

slept in the lof t of their house. Winter weather of ten penetrated the structure and snow seeped thru the cracks
onto his bed comf orters. One nice thing about it being cold, he said, was that it helped save the snow apples
he had harvested f rom trees in their yard. From his bed he could reach out and have an apple. Henry and
Johanna prospered. They expanded the tailoring business to become a dry goods store, which later became a
general store.
