In December 1896, Jan Roelof and Anna celebrate their 25th marriage anniversary (see advertisement).
A photo of the family was made
likely just before Hendrikje married in 1899.
Or was the photo taken on occasion of the marriage anniversary?
Jan Roelof and Anna are at right, Antoon and Hendrikje at left.
Jan Roelof and Anna were then approaching 60.
[To large version of photo (2 Mb).]
Also the 40th marriage anniversary is noted (see the newspaper clippings).
Jan died in 1915.

Anna immediately looks for support in the household and to milk the
4(!) cows.
She repeatedly advertises
(see, e.g., the one of October 1916 in the NvhN).
She keeps going for two years.
Anna died in 1917.
Both reached an age of over seventy.
Daughter Hendrikje married Jakob Vos,
market gardener in Groningen.
Son Antoon married Meintje Weber
and stayed on the farm at the Vogelzangsteeg.
Their children are:
Jan Roelof B, Antoon B, Jacob B, Annie B, Hennie B, Meintje B, Katrien B,
Dinie B, en Reina B.
The estate is split up in 1923 through a public sale
(see the newspaper clippings).
The proceeds amount to almost f 10000
(in 2015 value about 200 000 Euro).
[ When Hendrikje died in 1957,
her sister in law H.Boddeveld-Weber had a financial debt to her. ]
