Additional Information

Renze's obituary described him as a “friend” of Grover Cleveland. “It was while [living in Lancaster, N. Y.,] that he met Grover Cleveland who afterwards was elected president.” “Mr. Van Peyma was always more or less interested in politics and though he never held office, he was a very strong factor in New York's early political history.”[6]

“Mr. Van Peyma was descended from the nobility of Holland but he always had a great dislike for anything pertaining to it. He was heir to a large estate in Holland but would never claim it because he said he had money enough and had no need for more. He was an intelligent man and was a great lover of poetry. Up to his last days his memory was perfect and he could recite whole passages from Burns, who was his favorite poet.”[6]
