Ernest William De Bruin was born near Leighton, IA to Jacob & Anna Meppelink De Bruin on July 21, 1916. In 1918, the family moved to a farm south of Oskaloosa, where he grew up as a farm boy. He had many happy memories of growing up with 9 siblings. On Feb. 16, 1940 he was united in marriage to Anna Van Gilst at her parent's home in Wright, IA. Together, they farmed 3 years near Oskaloosa, then near Cedar for 5 years; and in 1949, they bought their farm north of Oskaloosa, where they lived until 1967. At that time they moved into Oskaloosa, where they enjoyed their retirement years. Ernest continued to be active with his sons in their farming operations. He was a member of the First Christian Reformed Church in Oskaloosa, where he served many years on the Church Council and the Building Committee; he served on the Oskaloosa Christian School Board and its Building Committee, the Pella Christian High School Board, and Dordt College Board. He enjoyed spending time with family, farming and caring for animals, and particularly the livestock auctions. Ernest and Anna enjoyed traveling, and when their children were at home, family vacations were important. In 2000 Ernest moved to the Sheltered Care Unit of Pella Regional Health Center due to health issues.
