In February 1920 Jeanette Timmermans (3 years old, born in South Dakota), her father William Timmermans (33, Holland, immigrated in 1891, stock farmer), mother Margaret (28, Michigan), sister Minnie (6, South Dakota) and brother Johnnie (1, South Dakota) were living at their own farm near the town of St. Francis in the Rosebud Indian Reservation, Todd County, located in the extreme southern part of South Dakota, at the border with Nebraska.
Todd's per-capita income made it in 2013 the third poorest county in the United States.
In April 1930 Janette Timmermans (13), her father William Timmermans (43, immigrated in 1893, farmer), mother Margarette (38), siblings John (11), Robert (7, South Dakota) and Alberta (3, South Dakota) were living in section 25 of Joubert Township, located just northwest of the Dutch settlement New Holland, Douglas County, in the southeastern part of South Dakota.
On March, 31, 1939 Janet Timmermans married in Corsica, Douglas County, South Dakota the three years older John Feenstra Jr., who had Dutch parents too.
In April 1940 Janet (23, South Dakota) and her husband John Feenstra (26, South Dakota, no occupation mentioned) were residing at a rented home in Joubert Township, Douglas County, South Dakota. They both lived in 1935 at a rural place in South Dakota.
Janet and John moved to a farm northwest of New Holland, SD and farmed there until 1947. Then they bought a cream route and moved to Corsica, SD
In 1953 they decided to move to the city of Lynden, located in the extreme northwestern part of Washington, about 5 miles south of the Canadian border. The surrounding area of Lynden is filled with dairy, raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry farms. Even though not founded by them, the region saw significant Dutch immigration in the early and mid 1900s, spurring the growth of dairies. Today, Lynden pays homage to some of its Dutch heritage through locations such as buildings on Front Street, where some businesses have been made-over with a Dutch theme, complete with a windmill. Along that street, you'll find the Lynden Dutch Bakery, Dutch Mother's Restaurant, and numerous local businesses. Some local supermarkets contain Dutch food sections, but Dutch is spoken by very few of the city's residents today. In the last two decades, the population has nearly doubled in size, with Dutch being more predominate than other ethnic ancestry.
In Lynden they were janitors for two years for the Christian School. John worked in the ship yards in Bellingham for one year, then he went on working for Bellboy Pleasure Boats. They then bought a dairy farm north of Lynden, Washington, and sold the farm again in 1966 and moved to Lynden. John worked for the Case Company in Lynden for ten years.
In October 1970 Janet died at the age of 54 years in Lynden, Whatcom County, Washington.
In 1971 her widower John Feenstra remarried Johanna (Joan) Voetberg. In August 1996 John Feenstra died at the age of 82 years in Lynden, Whatcom County, Washington. His second wife, Joan, died there too, in December 2005, at the age of 88 years.
