First, Reka was born in 1879 in Effington County, Illinois. Her parents were Henry J. and Lükke (nee: Casjens) Arends. At the young age of 11, Reka, along with her parents and five siblings, removed to the Ashton, Iowa, area. The year was 1890. Approximately eight years after the family's arrival, in 1898 Reka married Holland-born Jacob Woltjer. Jacob was born October 10, 1870. Soon thereafter, Reka and Jacob became parents of three children: Lucy, Helen, and Clair. Over time, the Woljters resided in several different locations. According to 1910 census, Reka and Jacob resided in Dale Township, Lyon Co., Iowa. When the 1920 census was recorded, the enumerator found the family residing in Midway Township, Cottonwood County, Minnesota. The last census document discovered which contained the couple's names was the 1930 record. That record shows Reka and Jacob removed to Iowa and were once again living in Lyon County, but at the start of that decade they made their home in Elgin Township. That 1930 document also indicates Jacob was 59 years old and Reka 51. Also recorded in that document, Reka and her husband were residents of Little Rock, Iowa. Little Rock, current population 456, is a rural community 15 miles northwest of Ashton and 15 miles east of Rock Rapids, Iowa. Discovered in the Pleasant View Cemetery, Little Rock, Iowa, were Jacob's and Reka's memorial. Those stones reveal Jacob's death occurred on January 2, 1932. Reka passed away sometime in 1961.
