KLAAS RADDER
The foreign born citizens of Whatcom county have had a very large and important share in the development and upbuilding of this locality, and among those of this class who have built up highly creditable reputations and distinguished themselves by right and honorable living is K. Radder, whose splendid farm is located in Lynden township. Mr. Radder was born in Holland in 1862 and is a son of C. and Jennette (Van Geest) Radder, both of whom spent their lives and died in their native land, where the father had for many years been a traveling peddler. Our subject secured his education in the schools of his home neighborhood and then for a few years was employed at various occupations. In 893 he came to the United States and homesteaded a tract of land in North Dakota, to the operation of which he devoted himself for seventeen years, but he finally decided that the winters were too cold, and in 1910 he came to Lynden, Whatcom county, and bought forty-one acres of land near the river. The tract had been partly cleared, but there were still many logs and stumps to remove before the land could be plowed. He developed that place into a good farm and lived there until 1921, when he sold it and bought twenty acres of land where he now lives. Here he has made a number of fine improvements, including a new and modern house, and the family is very comfortably situated. He gives his attention chiefly to dairying, keeping ten high grade Holstein cows. On his former ranch he raised large crops of grain as well as hay, but on his present place hay is the only field crop.
Mr. Radder is married and has eleven children, namely: Mrs. J. Haverman, of Norwood, who is the mother of two sons; Leonard, who is married and has a daughter; Harry, who is married and has three children; Cornelius, who is married and has two daughters; Mrs. Effie Kroontje, who is the mother of four children; Mrs. Cora Coster, who is the mother of a son; Mrs. Fanny Trost, who has a son; Mrs. Annie Blankenforth, who also has a son; and William, Peter and Jennette, who are at home. All but the first named are residents of Lynden. Mr. Radder is a member of the First Reformed Christian church, to which he gives liberal support. He is a member of the Whatcom County Dairymen's Association and is active in the support of all measures calculated to better the interests of the farmers, poultrymen and dairymen of the community. In fact, he stands for all that is best in the everyday life of the locality where he lives, being an earnest advocate and a fine exemplar of right living, and possesses to a marked degree those qualities of character which characterize the ideal citizen.
