Kippers on December 26, 1911 and finally Arie Emmerzael on February 6, 1912. According to the homestead records, Hendrik had a cabin on his land by the spring of 1912, but he did not move to Neerlandia at that time. On March 28, 1913 he abandoned that homestead and refiled on a quarter section closer to his wife Petertje's family. In 1915 when daughter Annie was only six weeks old, the family moved to Neerlandia, where they lived in a little sod-roofed shack.
