The Visser family was very probably living just north of the country village of St. Jacobiparochie (Saint Jacob's Parish) at the Oudebildtdijk (Old Bildt's Dyke), located in the extreme northwestern part of the Dutch northern province Friesland. This dyke, which was built in 1505, is some 12.1 km in distance, and it's the longest street with houses in the Netherlands - and the longest dyke with houses in Europe. Yelter arrived in Edmonton with his family on May 13, 1913. It was here that a serious accident happened to Yelter while working with a mower. A lever struck Yelter on the head, and he suffered a broken skull. His life was spared, but he experienced epileptic seizures after that. In 1925 Yelter moved to Neerlandia, and homesteaded the quarter of land just south of his father's. After Wiebe died in 1950, Jiskje lived with Yelter, until his death in 1958.
