Melledina, Ungetaufter, Melledina, Melle W., Geeska, Matdena, Talke, Gretje and Peter Henry were born to this union. The first three died at a young age in Germany and the last four died in the blizzard of 1888. The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. It was in 1868 that Mr. and Mrs. Peter H. Wierenga—with three children, Henry, Mell and Weert— made their exodus from their native land, Germany, to make their future home in the United States. In completing their trek across the Atlantic the family went to Freeport, IL, where they resided two years. In 1870 they journeyed westward in the progress of emigration movements to the west and middle west, and their travel took them to Ackley, IA., where the family established their home. Here they remained until 1881 when they left the Hawkeye state and entered the rolling plains of Dakota territory—settling seven and one-half miles—six south and one and one-half west—from Lennox, then a promising settlement in its early stages. Here the pioneer couple spent most of their remaining years. Nine children were born to this early couple. Four of these, three daughters and one son, Medina, Talka, Gretje and Peter, lost their lives in the blizzard of 1888. Ida passed away in Germany, while Henry died at Monroe several years ago. Two presently survive, namely: Mell Wierenga of Lennox and Mrs. Henry Buus of Wahpeton, N. D. Mr. and Mrs. Wierenga were both born in Ostfriesland, Germany. Mrs. Wierenga was in her 75th year when she passed away on October 26, 1909. Mr. Wierenga died in February, 1903 at the age of 82 years.
