Anna de Jong Osenga was my great aunt.  Berend de Jong was her Father.  He also stayed in Grand Rapids where he worked in the furniture stores, married Japke (Abbie) Sybesma, and had two children Anna and Hans (Harry) that lived.  Harry married Jennie Cornelia Vander Veer, worked in construction as a carpenter and had two daughters Pauline and Doris and a son Roger who died in infancy.  I don't know anything more about Berend and his family.

Berend, Abbie and Anna de Jong about 1896.  Hans (Harry) probably was born shortly after this picture was taken.

Berend de Jong died in May 1936 in Grand Rapids and Japke Sybesma de Jong Wynandts died in 1952, also in Grand Rapids.

Harry and Jennie's tombstone next to their son Roger.

Anna married Charles Osenga.  For more information about Anna de Jong's family please go to their family page.
