Obituary
Jacob Berends, son of Joakim and Maud Berends was born November 9th, 1859, in Ogle County, Illinois. Having attained the age of 77 years and 21 days, his call for departure of this life, came November 30th, 1936, at his home near Gate, Oklahoma.
Mr. Berends as a young man, moved to Kansas and there in Reno county was married to Eliza White in 1880. Seven children came to bless this union, five of whom survive, a daughter, Mrs. Mabel Hines, passing away, December 12, 1918, and the eldest son's death occurring July 31, 1923.
Mr. Berends and wife moved to the present home on the Cimarron river north of Gate, nearly fifty years ago, and here among the pleasant home surroundings, they reared their family.
God called the wife and mother to her reward February 2nd, 1926.
His near relatives surviving, are a brother, Henry, of Gate, who for many year has made his home with Mr. Berends; two daughters, Mrs. Maude Pemberton of Gate and Mrs. Edith Bond of Knowles; three sons, Joe and Arthur, who live near the home place and Charles who has made a home for his father and uncle at the old homestead since the mother's death, also thirty-six living grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren.
Uncle Jake as he was known to the whole surrounding country was truly a friend of man. A man of strong convictions, who loved right for the sake of right, of unwavering truth and honesty. A man who thought much; whose ambition in life was to create something or to cause something to grow that would be a new blessing to his fellowman. He had full faith that the doings of God in relation to man and to all nature was right and always for the best and he loved nature in its many manifestations and found much pleasure in chronicling nature's phenomena.
The multitude of friends he has made in these fifty years of living among us join the family in their sorrow.
