Weardus married Talea Huisman in Mar. of 1884. 2 children were born to this union; Peter T. and William Weardus. Weardus attained the age of 60 years and 4 months. The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. The history of business firms in the city of Lennox would be incomplete without a short sketch of Wyman H. Wumkes, who held a leading place in the business life of the community for 35 years. The late Mr. Wumkes began his business career here as a partner of C. E. Groeneveld in 1884, under the firm name of Groeneveld & Wumkes. The firm carried a large stock of farm implements, hardware, buggies and harness. Weardus was born in Jembum Province, Hanover, Germany, on the 5th day of Jan. 1859. He came with his parents to America in 1868 and located at Ackley, IA. In 1875 the family moved to near Grundy Center and located on their own farm where Mr. Wumkes followed the pursuit of farming until 1882. In that year he entered the employ of T. G. Tidden at Ackley, IA, who operated a hardware and implement business at that place. In March, 1884 he was united in marriage to Telea Huisman of Ackley and shortly after came with his young bride to Dakota territory and located at Lennox. To this union two children, namely Peter and William. In 1893, J. J. and John Wumkes bought out the interest of Mr. Groeneveld and the business continues under the firm name of Wumkes Bros. At this time the enterprise was expanded and a branch established both in Chancellor and Davis. In 1910 W. H. Wumkes purchased the interest of his brothers and became sole owner of the business, which he continued to conduct under the name of W. H. Wumkes & Company until his death in 1919.
