Out Steenstra Obituary

(Grandville Avenue Record, March 24, 1916, Pg. 1)

Out Steenstra, aged 62 years, one of the early merchants here, died at his home, 839 Grandville avenue, Wednesday morning after a protracted illness extending about a year. He was able to be out at times until several weeks past. He was engaged in the dry goods trade, corner of Grandville avenue and A street for a number of years, selling out to J. Dykstra six years ago. He was possessed of several valuable pieces of property and a man of some means; this was obtained through many hard struggles in his younger days; he worked and saved.

He was a man well known and respected. He leaves a widow and three grown-up children. He was a devout member of Franklin Street Christian Reformed church. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. from the church, Rev. L. Veltkamp, officiating.
