SICHTERMAN 

     My great grandfather, Si SICHTERMAN, was hit by a train on Friday, May 16, 1929 and died
later that day. This information was from The "Coopersville Observer", front page dated May 17,
1929. His obituary states he was born in The Netherlands on January 6, 1860 and died on May 16,
1929 in Coopersville. He and Anna BRONSEMA were married April 24, 1883 at Coopersville.
They had two daughters, Effie MEERMAN of Williamston and Anna WITCOP of Coopersville and
three sons, Peter and Nicholas of Coopersville and John of Flint (my grandfather). At the age of 43,
Mr. SICHTERMAN joined the Reformed Church and has always been a faithful member. He left
behind his widow and five children, fifteen grandchildren and one brother, R. SICHTERMAN of this
place and one sister, Mrs. Katherine BARSMA of Grand Rapids. The funeral was held Monday
afternoon at the Reformed Church, the pastor, Rev. J. H. BRUGGERS officiated. Interment was in
