ANOTHER PIONEER LEAVES THIS SPIRIT WORLD (Grandville Avenue Record, May 14, 1915, Pg. 1) Forty-Eight Years a Resident – Her Life Work for Her Family By the death of Mrs. Katherine Steketee, 329 Goodrich street, last Sunday morning this district loses another pioneer and a most exemplary citizen. She died on "Mother’s Day" and she will long be remembered especially among the Holland people who knew her well. Her death followed an illness that had its inception in an attack of la grippe. The deceased was 81 years old. Funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. H. McConnell officiating. Mrs. Steketee came from the Netherlands, more than a half a century ago, was born in Kadand province of Zee-Holland, coming directly here in 1848, following by one year John Steketee, later her husband. For forty years of this time she was a resident of the city, the other four being on a farm near the city. Her husband died four years ago, after having been the Netherlands vice consul many years. Surviving her are the following children: Vice Consul Jacob Steketee, Miss Catherine Steketee, who made her home with her mother; Mrs. Cornelia Steketee Hulst, Mrs. Maria Wieland, Mrs. B. A. Beneker and John Steketee, all of this city; a sister, Mrs. John Fulton of this city, and a brother, CorneliusVander Boegh of Holton. Many stories told of her life; she liked to relate best her pioneer experiences. Mrs. Steketee prized among her keepsakes an autograph copy of a photo of Queen Wilhelmina. While she was an ardent believer in God and church work, she did not find time for intimate church work; she liked her home best. emigreert op 19 mei 1849 naar Noord Amerika. Married 19 Dec 1851 Grand Rapids, MI to: Jannis (John) Steketee, birth 13 Jan 1833 Borssele, died 11 Jun 1900 Grand Rapids, Kent, MI, US, son of Jan Cornelisse Steketee and Maria Janse Fraanje In April, 1884, Mr. Steketee was selected by the government of the Netherlands for the position of its vice-consul for Michigan. This office imposed upon him many matters of a confidential nature in behalf of his former countrymen, who had located in great numbers in western Michigan, and especially in Grand Rapids. In the execution of these various duties, always of a more or less delicacy and interest, Mr. Steketee displayed such good judgment, sincerity and generosity, that it endeared him greatly to all those who required his advice and official aid. This office he now holds, and will probably continue to do so to the end of his life. In recognition of his wise and valuable aid, during his consulship, to the men and women of Dutch birth, the loved and beautiful Wilhelmina, upon attaining her sixteenth birthday, conferred upon Mr. Steketee the Knighthood of Orange-Nassau, one of the highly honorable, noble and select orders of the Netherlands. Two years later, when the young queen attained her majority and ascended the throne under so many promising auspices for the Dutch nation, Vice-consul Steketee sent the following hearty cablegram to her. "To Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands, The Hague. Congratulations from one hundred thousand Hollanders residing in the state of Michigan. May God’s blessing rest upon your Majesty and people. John Steketee, Vice-consul of the Netherlands at Grand Rapids, Mich., U.S.A. and Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau." |
