March
16, 1930 Mother, Helena, and Susie went
along with us to Satanta. We went to
Johan Barkmans, then to the church, and then to Cornelius E. Reimers for
dinner. For faspa to Bernhard Doerksens,
then to Peter Pletts and to Jacob N. Koops for supper. For night we went to Gerhard Doerskens. The Doerksens’ children George and Cornelius
Doerksens came to Gerhard Doerksens for the evening and also Abraham B. Reimers
and Jacob Koopen.
In the two weeks or so between the
engagement and the wedding, it was customary to visit as many relatives as
possible. Since Cornelius and his family
had lived at Satanta, Kans., from 1916-1918, he had many friends and relatives
there. His fiancée Margaret also had
friends and relatives there. Peter Plett
was an uncle to his first wife Katharina, and Jacob N. Koop was the grandfather
of Norman Koop who would marry Cornelius’ granddaughter Karen years later.
