Notities over Anna Jongeling

Grandma was a woman of action, she took charge and made things happen. Grandpa was easy going, he never worked fast but he loved to work and never quit working. This was his lifelong motto and he was on the job inspecting a rail car of lumberwhen he died on August 24, 1959 at age 77, in Dumont. Religion and faith were major issues in Grandma's life. Like her mother, she liked to express her faith verbally. As a young man, Grandpa was indifferent to organized religion. All efforts, by Grandma, to change him were unsuccessful. The Reverend Plesscher and the Parkersburg Consistory had dealt harshly with Grandpa and Grandma concerning their forced marriage. Grandma carried a nearly lifelong grudge against the Christian Reformed Church for this action. Dutch Reformed families, like the Negen Family, were moving into northcentral Iowa and they were joining the Parkersburg Church. Grandma felt the Dutch were cold and formal in their worship; she did not like worshiping with them. TheDutch sang only Psalms and the Germans were beginning to enjoy hymns and Psalms. Grandpa's Uncle Herman Potgeiter had even organized a band when he pastored the german speaking Christian Reformed Churches in Iowa and Minnesota. When Great Grandpa Buss got the job of remodeling or adding on to the German Lutheran Church in rural Parkersburg, they joined with that church. For all these reasons, Grandma and Grandpa also affiliated with the German Lutheran Church. My father, his twin sisters and Elizabeth were baptized in the Lutheran Church. When Grandpa and Grandma moved to Great Bend, North Dakota (near Whapeton) she affiliated with another denomination. The Evangelical United Brethren church was her choice. For many years she lived happilywithin that denomination. Unfortunately, Grandpa did not go along. He did join her church, years later, when they moved back to Iowa. My Father remembered delivering Grandma and the girls to church while he and Grandpa went to the pool hall. Grandpaalso liked drinking beer and occasionally liquor; this and not going to church were heavy burdens for Grandma. When my father left home and married a Dutch Christian Reformed lady, Grandma was very upset. Prior to marrying my Mother, Rena Negen, in 1928, Father made profession of his faith in the Christian Reformed Church. Grandma did not attend either ceremony. Grandma and Mother had a life long sparing match over the church. When visiting them in Iowa, Mother would take us 20 miles to her brothers place every Saturday night. This was to insure our attendance at the Christian Reformed services rather than Grandma's "Holy Roller" church.
January 1962, I visited Grandma and stayed overnight before returning to my Naval duties in Washington DC. Grandma was in an expansive mood and much of what I write she told me that evening. She and Mother had long made their peace and she was most pleased with her eldest son's children. She was no longer upset with their religious upbringing. "What goes around comes around" were her last words on the subject that evening. She was at peace and remained so until her mind became faulty a few years later. She passed away in Hampton, Iowa January 29, 1970 at age 83.
