Death Notes
- Originally had date of death as 29/12/1929.

General Notes
- Willem was a labourer who dug peat from early morning until 2.00 pm and then dug sand which he sold for 5 cents per wheelbarrow. He managed to make enough money to build himself a farmhouse where his two sons were born.
  
  When their sons showed no interest in farming, they sold the farmhouse and started a small shop across the road from the Army barracks, where they sold tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, sweets and wooden shoes.
  
  The farmhouse and shop have been demolished to make way for wider access roads to Assen.
