Roelof and Aaltje are the parents of the Brouwer family in the area. Additional Comments: Original tombstone is in bad condition. Almost impossible to read. I had to grind mud on it and brush it off to make the words appear. Also the stone is currently broken at the base and laying on its back. (It is still in one piece) File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ottawa/photos/tombstones/northholland/brouwer31431gph.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/mifiles/ File size: 1.5 Kb
