Colenbrander of Rock Valley, a true husband and father and a good all around Christian and citizen of this community, after a very short illness bid goodby to loved ones and was taken to occupy the "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." During the supper hour last Monday night he was taken sick with an aggravated case of throat trouble. A physician was called and after a few days on Friday he was hurried to Le Mars where seven doctors worked on his case but without avail and on Saturday gave up the battle. An autopsy was ordered and it was discovered that it was a case of throat paralysis. Even with an X-ray it was impossible to discover this dreaded disease. All was done that could be done in the matter. Only a few days ago we met the deceased in town and talked with him about farm matters. He looked the perfection of health and yet how frail is the tie that holds us here to earth and friends. Mr. Colenbrander was forty years of age lacking ten days. Was born in Holland and came to this country while a young man. He was an energetic worker and a mind above the average and a splendid character. The Sunday before his death he taught his class at First church and the next Sunday his death was announced in the church. He leaves a wife and family and a sister Mrs. Den Herder and a brother the Rev. Dick Colenbrander of Rock Valley and his mother, Mrs. A. J. Van Lummel, wife of the pastor and formerly of Boyden. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at First church where he has always worshipped. Rev. Lubbers in charge. His Sunday school class will follow his remains to the grave and also the teachers of the school where he has labored so faithfully and well. Next week we hope to pay a more fitting tribute to this faithful Christian gentleman who has passed along life's gateway and on to his newer and nobler work beyond. -Obituary from the Alton Democrat Sioux Center Times Section (9/24/1921) Father Arend Jan Colenbrander -Born 20 Jul 1855 in Sinderen -Died 17 Sep 1889 in Sinderen
