Hartjes, Anthony

Notes:

Martin was Christian and Helena's first child, not Anna. The following was written by their daughter Sister Lucina: In 1863, he married my mother, Helena Van den Berg, a beautiful and pious maiden. Very soon after that the little Hartjeses began to make their appearances. Martin, in 1864, followed in quick succession by Peter and Anthony, who was the first one to be born in America. Peter died at sea. This was Mother's first great sorrow. She never forgot the sad burial of the little year old boy in the big Atlantic. Anthony died as an infant in Little Chute, date unknown.
