He was brought to Alton by J.W. Allen and funeral services were held here Monday afternoon. William Kooreman was born October 11, 1877, at Alton, Ia., son of John and Johanna Kooreman, pioneer residents. He attended the local school and grew to manhood here. October 18, 1906, he was married to Magdalene Stronks of Baldwin, Wisc. Two children were born to the union: Kathryn, Mrs. T. Pelto of Menomonie, Wisc., and John of Cedar Rapids, Ia. He is survived by his wife and children; two grandchildren; John and Mary Pelto; one sister, Miss Jennie and one brother, Edward Kooreman, both of Alton. His entire life was spent in the Alton vicinity where he was engaged in a general merchandise business for many years. In number of years he was the oldest native resident of Alton, and throughout those years was active in the interest of the community. He served on the Fire Co., for 36 years, was a faithful member of the city band for 20 years and served on the city council a number of years. A devoted member of the First Reformed Church, he served as a deacon on its consistory and for 12 years as church treasurer. Although a busy man, he always had time to do a kindness for another and was quick to see another's need. A tribute to his character and wisdom will be found in the "It Seems To Us" column on this issue. Rev. H. Hesselink officiated at the services Monday at 2:00p.m., in the First Reformed Church, with Mrs. Ray Wierda as organist. Many floral tributes testified to the esteem and affection in which he was held. Pallbearers were E.G. Klein, Robert Vander Schaaf, O.N. Homan, J.T. Even, Andrew De Graaf and Don Freriks. Alton Democrat - 9 Aug, 1951
