From her obituary

Mrs. Cornelius Hoekstra died at her home in this city [Orange City, Iowa] last Saturday morning at the age of 72 years. Her health had been failing for some time, and hoping to improve it she had been staying with her daughter near Carnes [Iowa] for several weeks, but on last Wednesday she insisted on being brought back to her home in Orange City. The trip was more than she could stand in her weakened condition, and she sank rapidly and passed away as above.

Deceased was a native of the Netherlands and came to this country fifteen years ago, her husband having died before she left the motherland. She leaves two sons and three daughters to mourn her demise, as follows:

S. Hoekstra of Sheldon [Iowa] and another son in Holland. Mrs. Y. Mulder, wife of Prof. Mulder of Chicago. Mrs. Gerrit Mulder and Mrs. G. Mulder near Carnes, the three daughters having married brothers.

The funeral was held from the Christian Reformed Church Monday afternoon, of which denomination she was a devoted member, and was conducted by the regular pastor, Rev. E. Breen.
