Letter:
Excerpt of letter from Willem Zegers to his family in Horst, sent from De Pere, Wisconsin on December 9, 1874. Provided and translated by Peter Dolje.

". . . .After my good and dear wife had endured great sadness and agony for two months, nursing me and my sick children, and still suffering much from the death of her two tenderly beloved little [sons], the illness which she had been suffering from for almost two years, and which had already threatened to kill her three times before, overpowered her again for the fourth time, on Monday morning at four o'clock on the 30 November, and alas, the Maker who rules over heaven and earth had decided to take from me the dearest treasure I had on earth and to call her to Him, and she passed away around 6 o'clock. May she rest in peace! Dear family and friends, please pray for her soul. Through her pious and exemplary life, we hope that she has gone on to a better world. . . .Oh, what a valley of tears in the course of our lives! To watch within two weeks two of my most precious ones* taken to eternity by cruel death is a disaster that causes great heartache. However, God's will be done! It is best to bear the cross that the lord asks us to with patience. Prosperity does not always further the cause for which we were created."

*Their daughter, Geertruda Wilhelmina, died on November 16 at the age of ten.

His name is Henricus (Henry) Zegers, the husband of Petronella V anderHeiden. Your tree lists the name as "Zeegers," which is one of the w ays it is spelled in Holland. I also found this pair in another family tr ee that shows they moved to Nebraska around the turn of the century. In t hat one, the name is spelled "Zagers." I've been able to track them usi ng Petronella's name, and the various dates. AND, the fact that Petronel la died in Missoula, Montana. We have the history and descendants of his p arents and siblings who came to the Fox Valley in 1872, but Henry is our m ystery. Any other information you have would be much appreciated, includi ng your source for the information about Petronella's place of death. Than ks, Mary Zegers Madison, WI

Obituary:
Clarence J. Zegers, 85, passed away on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2009, in the comforting presence of his beloved family. He was born in De Pere, on Dec. 21, 1923, the eldest son of Gary Zegers and Marie (Puimbroeck) Zegers. Clarence and Doris (Van Remortel) were married on May 30, 1949, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, The family gathered to celebrate the couple's 60th wedding anniversary in May 2009.
In his younger years he would do chores and try to help his parents who were tavern keepers in De Pere, one place being known as the Old Dutch, and another by the family name. He told the story about how in 1939 he and three of his buddies bought a 1924 Model T and set out for California, Canada and many other places. World War II engulfed the world as Clarence graduated from East De Pere High School, and he voluntarily underwent corrective surgery so that he could become a U.S. Marine. With his fellow Marines of the 10th Artillery Company of the 2nd Marine Division, he fought on the ground from bloody Tarawa to Saipan and Okinawa. He was among the first American occupation forces in Nagasaki, Japan, following the surrender. Clarence was scheduled for promotion to gunnery sergeant, but when he was told he could either wait for the paperwork or ship out for the USA, he chose his home and family. He was called back to active duty in 1950, when the Korean conflict erupted. When he returned to his wife and baby son in De Pere after several months, he continued to live the beliefs of what we think of as the Greatest Generation: strong faith, hard work, and a loving family at the center of it all. He was also blessed by good friends over the years who also meant a lot to him.
Clarence and his family took pride in his four decades as a salesman and salesmaster for Cuene Buick of De Pere and later Green Bay, where he worked with energy and dedication until his retirement.
As his children grew up, he took them hunting and fishing, and he enjoyed golfing and softball with his children, and later, grandchildren, for many years. He watched his grandchildren with pride at their sports activities, performances and school events, and he took great pleasure in their company. He taught life's lessons by example and with kind words, and he was fond of saying that it is important to, "work hard...and play hard."
He will be sadly missed by Doris and their children and grandchildren, James and Mary (Smith) Zegers, and their son, Andrew, Madison; John and Jean (VanWassenhoven) Zegers, De Pere and their children, Scott, New York, and Jennifer, De Pere; Ann and Joseph Hilke, and their daughters, Jennifer and Michelle, Plymouth; Donald and Teresa (Kanouse) Zegers and their son, Daniel, De Pere; Joseph and Karen (Pearson) Zegers and their daughters, Emily, Mariah and Olivia, De Pere; and Mary and James Pahl, and their daughter, Heather. He is also survived by his sister, Frances Kane, and extended family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Gerard Zegers and Marie (Puimbroeck) Zegers Hagen, and his stepfather, Raymond Hagen; two sisters, Angeline Kornberg and Margaret Henry Vannieuwenhoven; and two brothers, Richard Zegers and Walter (Keg) Zegers.
