John Zevenbergen (1869-1958) followed his brother to the USA in 1920

John was born as Jan on 26 November 1869 in Charlois (now part of Rotterdam). He was a younger son of Pieter Zevenbergen (1837-1913) and Ida Koedood (1837-1911). Two younger siblings died young, but Jilles, Jan and 5 other siblings all reached adulthood. 

Jan Zevenbergen was married on 29 October 1897 in Hoogvliet, Holland, to Susanna Voogt, born on 8 March 1876 in Hoogvliet, Holland. Her parents are Willem Voogt and Jacoba Konijnenburg.
Jan Zevenbergen and his wife Susanna lived in Rotterdam at different locations. They had several children, starting with a twin Jan and Jacoba, born on 21 April 1898 who both died after 5 months. Their other children are summarised in the table below.
Their eldest surviving son Pieter Willem Zevenbergen, born on 14 April 1899 in Rotterdam, was married there on 24-10-1923. That’s the last time anything about Jan’s family was registered in The Netherlands.

The family of Jan Zevenbergen and his wife Susanna

In the summer of 1920 Jan – like his brother Jillis earlier - had moved to the USA, taking the name “John”, and settling on a dairy farm near Orange City, Sioux County, Iowa. John's youngest son, Cornelis Arie Zevenbergen, born on 3 November 1918 in Rotterdam, was now called by the name “Cornie”.
“Uncle Julius” was farming in Iowa, and had urged his brother John to bring his family to "The Land of opportunity". The boat trip on the SS Rijndam was challenging for a family who could only afford passage on the lower deck. After landing at Ellis Island, they took an over-loaded train to Ocheydan, Iowa, where “Uncle Julius” met them, and took them to Orange City, Iowa.

After his wive’s death on 8 October 1955, John Zevenbergen made his home with his son Cornie and family, first at Orange City, and later at Baldwin. John died there on 16 October 1958, aged 88. Interment was made in the Orange City cemetery. The pall bearers were grandsons of the deceased: John and Arlan Zevenbergen, John and Peter Vermaat, Marion and Allen Zevenbergen.
John's youngest son Cornie died on October 14, 2011 at the Baldwin Area Medical Center, aged 88, too.
