. 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.

Long before the ships that brought our fathers to America had sailed from Holland, an organization had been formed of which Rev. H. P. Scholte was the President and Rev. A. J. Betten the Vice-president. Later he was one of the two men who had charge of the colonists affairs on board the good ship, “The Nagasaki.” After their arrival here, in 1847, Mr. Betten bought the farm which is well known to the present generation as the John Boot home farm, located some miles northwest of Pella. In 1849 he removed to Pella and entered the mercantile business. While he did not follow his calling as a Minister during his life in Pella, to the extent of taking regular charge of one of the congregations, yet for many years he was one of the leaders in the religious life of the community, and before the regular denominational congregations were established in Pella, he preached for the Hollanders for a long time. Some years after the planting of the colony in Sioux County, he removed there and made his home with his son, Antonie Betten, in Orange City, until the time of his death./ Iowa Biogrpahies Project
