Rh Outside of his own family, Mr. Olzendam has but one relation living, a niece, the daughter of a sister. His grandfather had but one brother, who died without issue. His father had no brothers. His own brothers and sisters have "gone before." May it be granted to Mr. Olzendam to perpetuate through his numerous children his honorable name, and thus found in this country a family which will reflect credit on their progenitor. Of personal friends in the old country Mr. Olzendam left many whose friendship has stood the test of years of separation, and with whom he has regularly corresponded for a third of a century. This fact illustrates the strength of his attachments.

May Mr. Olzendam live many years to enjoy his prosperity.
