This would be John W. VanDenBerg Son - John would have been born Mar 1 9, 1866 I suspect this was an error in the book that this Bio was taken f rom and is the same John Junior. I am basing on the strong connection th at His father was John and Mother of Mary.

He Came to the US from Holland in 1858 living in Grand Chute


This the OTHER John Vandenberg Family

JOHN VANDENBERG. The farming interests of Outagamiecounty are in the hands of efficient, capable men who have given totheir labor that application of scientific effort that is bound to bringthe best results. Years of observance of the best methods havebrought the occupation of farming up to the standard of one of thesciences, and the constant improving of farming machinery hasdone wonders in making the harvesting of large crops a certainty.John Vandenberg, one of the scientific farmers of Grand Chute township,
was born March 16, 1860, in Little Chute township, Outagamie
county, Wisconsin, a son of John and Mary (Vandenberg)
Vandenberg. The parents of Mr. Vandenberg were both born inHolland, in which country they were married, and came to Americain 1858, locating in Little Chute, where Mr. Vandenberg worked olthe canal for a few years and then bought a little farm in what iscalled Brookstown, which he cultivated until his death in 1903,his widow surviving him but a few years. They were the parentsof six children: Peter, a merchant of Marinette; John; Mary, the
wife of Henry Van Gompel, a farmer of Little Chute; Anton, afarmer of Brookstown; Henry, a farmer of Buchanan township; andGeorge, a motorman on the interurban line, Little Chute. JohnVandenberg secured his education in the schools of his native district,
and resided at home until his marriage, although he workedout among the farmers of Little Chute township. He then securedemployment in the Little Chute mill, where he continued to workuntil 1907, and in' that year purchased the farm which he' nowoperates, a tract of fifty-two acres which he devotes to general and
dairy farming. He is a member of the Roman Catholic Church,and belongs to the old Catholic organization known as Saint Johns.In politics he is a Democrat, but he has been too busy to engage
actively in any matters of a public nature.
On October 11, 1886, Mr. Vandenberg was married to MissKatie Verhagen, born in Brookstown, in 1864, daughter of Ienryand Hattie Van Hammond Verhagen, early settlers of Brookstownand natives of Holland. Mrs. Vandenberg was left an orphan at atender age, and she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Vanroy, ofLittle Chute, with whom she made her home until her marriage.



ANTONE J. VANDENBERG, chairman of, the township board ofVandenbroek township, and one of the well known and successfulagriculturists of this locality, is'the owner of 104 acres of fine farmingland. He is a son of John Vandenberg, who was born in Hollandand came to the United States with his wife, Mary, landing atNew York City, April 17, 1858. He came direct to Little Chute,
Outagamie county, and secured employment on the NorthwesternRailroad at twenty-five cents per day, work at that time being veryscarce, and later was employed on the Government Canal at littlebetter wages, but in a few years, by the strictest kind of economyand frugality he had saved enough to enable him to purchase thirtyacres in Vandenbroek township, then known as Kaukauna township.He built a little log cabin on this property, but on account of lackof funds was compelled to work on the canal for a time longer. Hisfirst team was a pair of cows, with which he did his farming for thefirst few years, but he was a hard and consistent worker, and addedto his equipment from time to time as his finances would allow, lateradding ten acres to his home property and buying land in otherparts of the township, and he eventually became known as one of thesubstantial men of his township, serving, for a, number of years asclerk of his school district. His wife died on the homestead farm,in 1889, aged sixty-three years, and Mr. Vandenberg passed awaythere in 1901, when seventy years of age. Antone J. Vandenbergwas born January 24, 1864, on his father's farm, one of a family ofsix children of whom five were boys. He received his education inthe district schools of the neighborhood, and as a lad lived with hisfather, although he worked out a good deal to help the family, andassisted in erecting many of the buildings in South Kaukauna. Atthe age of twenty-five years he struck out on his own account, andwith his brother John purchased 200 acres of land in Freedom township,which they sold after improving it, and Antone purchased another
farm in what is now Vandenbroek township. On October 14,1890, he was married to Matilda Boyle, who was born in Freedomtownship, daughter of Barney Boyle, and after marriage purchasedhis present farm He has built a good, modern home and substantialbarns and outbuildings on this property, and later added to itby purchase, now owning 104 acres, all of which he has brought upto a high state of cultivation. Mr. and Mrs. Vandenberg have hadtwelve children, one of whom, Raymond, died at the age of ninemonths, while the others are: Arthur, Rose, George, Roy, Mary,Edward, Helen, Ethel, Anne, Ida and Toney. The family is connected
with the Catholic Church of Little Chute. Mr. Vandenbergwas on the side board for five years, has been clerk of his school distric tfor four years, and was elected in the spring of 1911 to the position
of chairman of the township board. For nine years he served
as a director in the Hail and Cyclone Insurance Company.

Ed and Donna us ed to live on South Oneida St., in Appleton, renting from the esta te of my Aunt Evelyn Rickert Stadler. My parents lived across the stree t, so we saw Ed and Donna on many occasions. My mom used to babysit for B rad and Doug, their 2 oldest. Many, many years ago the John Rickert Fami ly celebrated a Centennial. I do not have a copy, but recall it was ve ry detailed, with many old pictures. It was an excellent history of the f amily and the area. I suggest you contact Ed or Donna to see if he h as a copy. I did not attend, but I believe they may have. If not, I am s ure Richard and Dorothy Rickert would have one, as he purchased the old Ri ckert homestead. Hope this helps. As far as Uncle Ted and Aunt Mary Vandenberg, we had good times at the ir home. Uncle Ted played the organ and sang the song, "If I Had But 50 C ents." They always had a dog, and each dog was named "Buster."A copy of that song is attached, and every time I read the words, I laug h, recalling him singing it and playing the organ. Aunt Mary had me ov er at the farm many times, and the upstairs bedrooms were cold. Bill Mys

---I took my girl to a fancy ballIt was a social hop,We danced away the eveni ng till the music it did stop.Then to a restaurant we went,the best o ne we could get,She said she wasn't hungry,but this is what she ate.A dozen raw, a plate of slaw,a chicken and a roast.Some applesass, asparag rass, And soft shell crabs on toast.A big box stew, and crackers too,her a ppetite was immense!When she called for pie, I thought I'd die,For I had b ut fifty cents.She said she wasn't hungryand didn't care to eat,But I've got mon ey in my clothes,to bet she can't be beat.She took it in so cozy,She h ad an awful tank,She said she wasn't thirsty, But this is what she drank.A whiskey skin, a glass of gin,Which made me shake with fear,A ginger po p, with rum on top,A schooner then of beer.A glass of ale, a gin cocktail, She should have had more sense!When she called for more,I fell on the floo r,For I had but fifty cents.Of course I wasn't hungry,And didn't care to eat.Expecting every moment To be kicked into the street.She said she'd fetch her family round,and so me night we'd have fun,When I gave the man my fifty cents,This is wh at he done.He tore my clothes, he smashed my nose,He hit me in the jaw. He gave me a prize of two black eyes,And with me he swept the floor.He gra bbed me where my pants hung loose,And threw me o'er the fence.Take my advi ce, don't try it twice,If you've got but fifty cents.

Family History Researcher:
Died at Outagamie county health center
Jay and Paul, I am reading the data on these individuals that appears to h ave come from Jay, an Ancestry.com tree and WFT Vol 82 Tree 1003.On closer inspection, the birth dates of the three Weber children indica te that she probably married Joe Weber before 1922 and Louis Meyer after 1 927. So I dug deeper and found that the three children were attribut ed to a Joseph B and wife Marie in the 1930 census for Richfield Twp, Wash ington Co., WI.This leads me to conclude that the Ancestry.com tree is for the wrong coup le and Jay and WFT are more correct. Therefore I am dropping the three ch ildren and establishing the 6/01/26 wedding date as being the Meyer weddi ng (as did Jay).I would also guess that the marriage to Weber took place in about 1919 bas ed on their ages and Weber's date of death, but that is a bit of a reach.Do either of you have any idea as to where I should look? I could not fi nd any better data in Ancestry.com

Obituary:
Merle Vandenberg, 92, Kimberly, dearly loved by everyone who was blessed to know him, was born to eternal life Sunday, January 31, 2010, at St. Paul Villa, Kaukauna. He was born November 8, 1917, in Freedom, the seventh son and 14th child of Lambert and Elizabeth (Scholl) Vandenberg. Merle married Jayne VandenHeuvel May 9, 1953, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, Little Chute, and she preceded him in death on July 19, 2009, exactly 28 weeks prior to Merle's death.
Merle was a devoted husband to Jayne and a loving father to Lynne Bishop (Bill Ficken), Spooner; Guy (Deb) Vandenberg, Lino Lakes, MN; and Joy (Steve) Wind, Sleepy Hollow, IL. He was loved deeply by his grandchildren: Aiden and Blake Bishop, Kyle and Gavin Vandenberg, and Kaley and Casey Wind, as well as all his grand-dogs. Jayne and Merle had lived in the same house on Jefferson Place in Kimberly for 52 years.
They were members of Holy Name Parish, Kimberly, for many years, and recently re-joined St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, Little Chute, where Merle found great peace in attending daily mass. Merle was employed at the Bank of Little Chute (BLC Community Bank) for many years, and Van Zeeland Implement Company prior to that. In his later years, he took great joy in volunteering, first at Holy Name, then with Meals on Wheels, and St. Vincent de Paul. Merle was a U.S. Army Air Corps veteran having served in World War II. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. In addition to his God and his family, Merle had a great love for music, and he reminisced about all the bands he saw in his younger days. During their retirement, Merle and Jayne enjoyed spending time at the family cabin on Spooner Lake in Northwestern Wisconsin. There they made fond memories for several summers with their children, grandchildren and new friends.
In addition to his family, Merle is survived by a sister-in-law, Ceil Vandenberg; three brothers-in-law: Harold (Marian), Roman, and Ben (Priscilla) VandenHeuvel; many marvelous nieces and nephews, wonderful neighbors of over 50 years, and many friends. We were truly blessed to have had him with us for so very long, but we will miss him tremendously. He was a genuine inspiration to all who knew him.
Merle was also preceded in death by his parents; a granddaughter, Sarah Vandenberg; eight sisters: Elly (Jack) Hooyman, Jane (Joe Weber) (Louis Meyer), Min (Ott) Verstegen, Ag (Frank) DeBruin "Gramma and Papa Brown," Roselle (Mart) VanAsten, Angeline (Paul) Pairon, Florence (Pete) DeMunck, Myrtle "Snooky" (Jap) Liebergen; 7 brothers: John (Delphina "Dimps"), Joe (Laura), Ted (Mary), Vince (Nell), Elmer "Bummy" (Ena), Gordon "Butch," Aloys "Bud" (Ceil) Vandenberg; three brothers-in-law: Noel (Ellen Hammen), Gus (Nancy Holmes), Roger (Carole) VandenHeuvel; 10 nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, February 4, 2010, at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Church, 323 S. Pine Street, Little Chute, with Fr. Bert Ebben officiating. Interment will be in St. Nicholas Cemetery, Freedom.

Biography:
A story of Clem & Margaret - Clem - I was born in 1912, the year the Model T Ford came out. At six yea rs of age, I walked 112 miles to a one room school located on the corn er of Mc Cabe'Road & Golden Glow Road (the schoolhouse now stands on Bob V andenberg's farm). The school had all eight grades and one teacher. T he teacher and pupils did the janitor work and we felt quite proud when o ur turn came to fire the stove and wind the clock. Our lunch buckets wou ld freeze in the hall and we carried our water from Pat Mc Cabes nearb y. We looked forward to a picnic at the end of the year. I walked to S t. Nick's for First Communion and Confirmation instructions. After eight y ears of grade school, I walked 312 miles to Freedom High School. After gr aduation I worked on the farm. In 1936 my father passed away and the ne xt vear we bought the farm. I knew Margie thru school, never thinking s he would be my wife. We lived through the worst depression in histor y. We struggled together and God gave us six wonderful children.My mother stayed with us for 17 years. She was a large woman and had diab etes and was confined to a wheel chair. I think 17 years is a record f or a mother-in-law living under the same roof as her daughterin-la w. I am proud of Margie for caring for and putting up with mother as s he was not an easy person to live with. Mother took turns staying at t he homes of other brothers and sisters in the area after Margie became i ll and the doctor told her she was trying to handle too niuch. We took o ur turn several more time through the years.After 38 years on the farm on County Trunk S, we sold the farm to a catt le dealer. We moved near Freedom on County Trunk UU across from Fox Vall ey Golf Course, where I learned to play golf and take life easy. We ho pe to stay here the rest of our lives.Margie and I play Scrabble and I enjoy reading. We visit the sick and t he old and lonely whenever possible. We've done some traveling since reti ring.

Before the advent of modern machinery we farmed the hard way, by han d. We cut the grain with a binder that tied a piece of twine around each b undle and dropped it on the ground to be picked up and put into shoc ks to dry. From there it was picked up by a fork by hand and loaded on to a wagon to be put into the barn and wait for a threshing machine to thr esh it. Soon this was done away with and threshed from the shocks. The s ame was done with the corn. Loaded onto a wagon and hauled to the silo fi ller that cut it up into 1411 pieces and blown into the silo to cure.Hay was hauled by a team of horses and wagon and put into the barn whe re we fed it to cows daily throughout the winter. The manure was wheel ed onto a pile and hauled onto the land and spread with a manure spread er which took the place of spreading it with a fork by hand.We grew all our own vegetables and apples for the winter and butchered o ur own hogs and beef for the family.When a barn was to be built, neighbors got together and had a raising b ee supervised by a carpenter. Neighbors and families did everything toget her. They had husking bees, barn raising bees, wood sawing bees, quilti ng bees, canning and sausage making were also done by all.When there was a death, neighbors got together and got the corpse ready a nd put the corpse in a coffin and they were viewed at home before the comi ng of the funeral homes. The graves were dug by neighbors and friends.For recreation there were always a few that could play a piano or a violi n. They played at square dances and at weddings. They danced in the hou se and sometimes on the thresh floor in the barn.This way of doing everything together was brought over from Europe when th ey migrated to this country and continued for 300 years until the adve nt of modern machining When everybody became independent.Those days everybody knew everybody for miles around. At that time they e ither walked or took a horse and rig. Now people don't even know their ne xt door neighbor.When my brother, Harold, and I took over the farm in 1935, we farmed the s ame way as always. Gradually farming methods changed drastically over t he years. Barn cleaners came into existence, bulk milk coolers, combine s, electric stoves, oil furnaces, clothes dryers, refrigerators, etc. Th is mad,--it much easier on the farm and in the house. One man could do wh at it took several to do in former generations.Harold married about a year later and went to work for another farmer.In 1975 we sold the farm and moved 2 miles south of Freedom on County Tru nk UU across from the Fox Valley Golf Course, where I learned to play go lf and take it easy. I read quite a bit and write letters to the People 's Forum which is run in the Appleton Post Crescent newspaper.

Lois Helen Miller, Our mother, of great beauty, strength and grace, has passed from this life, into eternal life. She is joined with our Creator, now and forever in His loving care.
Lois Helen Miller (nee Vandenberg), age 79, of Kaukauna, Wisconsin, died Thursday, June 28 at home surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Lois was born on December 16, 1932, in Little Chute, WI, the first child of the late John and Delphine (De Groot) Vandenberg. She attended Holy Cross Grade School and graduated from Kaukauna High School with the Class of 1951. She was united in holy matrimony to Glen C. Miller Jr. on June 13, 1953, at Holy Cross Catholic Church. The couple lived in Chicago, IL, before moving back to Kaukauna where they raised their family. Lois and Glen celebrated 45 years of marriage before he preceded her in death on May 17, 1998.
Lois was a longtime and faithful member of Holy Cross Parish. She had a deep faith in God and cherished the holy sacraments she received from the Catholic Church: Baptism, Communion, Penance, Confirmation, Marriage, and, recently, Anointing of the Sick.
Lois was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Her greatest joy was her eight children and four grandchildren. She took great pride in tending to her home and garden and was a wonderful homemaker. She enjoyed reading, cooking, baking, and was an excellent seamstress. She also enjoyed 20 years of employment as a dental receptionist and assistant for Dr. Gregory Russo.

Alzheimer's The ThiefA thief came awhile back and slowly took our Dad away. He didn't
do it all at once, but by tiny pieces every day.At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiles. "Oh, he's just getti ng older," we told
ourselves, our long suit was denial.The haunted look for what once was the searching, asking, pacing,the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Dad racing.Dad tried his best with what he had, and Lord knows we did too, but the
thief just took control and stole each bit of him we knew.But now that hard battle's over, and Dad's resting in his final Home.
God made the thief give back to us The Father we had known.

Obituary:
Engel, Eleanor Mary (Hooyman)
The angels took Eleanor peacefully to Heaven on June 15, 2015. She was born on February 24, 1922 to James and Ellen (Vandenberg) Hooyman. After graduating from Kaukauna High School in 1939, she co-founded and co-directed the Kaukauna Grignon Players, providing entertaining plays for the surrounding communities.
Eleanor married the love of her life, Norbert Engel, on June 12, 1948. They were blessed with 11 children: Mary (Lee) Hurley, Gerri (Dave) Balliet, Ellen (Tom) Hoover, Sandra (Peter) Zastrow, Susan (Dave) VanBoxtel, Tom (Mary), Paul, Tim (Lisa), Neil (Kelly), Nancy (John) Arndt, and Jack (Kaylene). God further blessed them with 31 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.
Many enjoyable times were shared by the family camping, as well as church picnics, reunions, and family celebrations. Her children and grandchildren especially enjoyed the pumpkin pies and assorted cakes which she lovingly baked even as she was gradually losing her eyesight.
As if the endless laundry, meals, and a multitude of tasks weren't enough, Eleanor also worked outside of the home at Prange's and Prangeway Department Stores. On her class reunion questionnaire she quipped that she was a mother of 11 children living the life of a lady of leisure. She loved a good joke and enjoyed making others laugh. Occasionally, a priest would use one of her jokes in a sermon. All of us will miss the sound of her laughter. We thank God for the time that we had with her.
Eleanor deeply loved the Holy Eucharist. She devotedly instilled the values and teachings of the Catholic faith in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren throughout their lives. She radiated the Christian spirit of love and concern for others, especially the poor. She had a heart of gold and was kind and compassionate beyond measure. Everyone who met her was impressed by her sweet nature. With her passing, a shining example of holiness is gone from our lives. Mom, please flash the porch lights at the gates of Heaven to welcome us home again.
Eleanor was a member of the Legion of Mary and the Secular Franciscan Third Order.
Eleanor is survived by her children and by her two sisters, JoAnn (James) Vandenberg and Mary Sue (Robert) Streck.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Norbert, and her brothers Floyd, Aloysius, and Marvin.
Visitation will be held at the Wichmann Funeral Home-Laemmrich Chapel at 312 Milwaukee Street in Menasha on Wednesday evening June 17, 2015 from 4 until 7 pm with the Rosary being recited at 7 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations will be given to Father Carr's Place2B, Wisconsin Right to Life, EWTN, and priests' retirement funds.
The family wishes to thank Sandra and Peter Zastrow for taking mom into their home for the last 9 years and for their compassionate and unwavering caregiving. Their selfless dedication merits our gratitude, respect, and admiration. We also wish to thank Paul for his incredible devotion to mom's care and comfort.
Mom and the family sincerely appreciated everyone's prayers, especially the prayers and blessings of the seven priests and the hospital chaplains who visited her during her hospitalization.
Finally we thank Dr. Adeboye, Dr. Johnson, and the nursing staff at St Elizabeth Hospital for their excellent medical care, kindness and support.
