The subject of this sketch was born at Bennekom, Holland, February 4th, 1848, and died at his home in Rock Valley, Wednesday, January 12th, 1921, aged seventy-two years, eleven months and eight days. His early life was spent in the land of his birth, where he grew to manhood.

He resided near Orange City two years after his arrival, later moving to Sioux Center, where he spent five years of his life, going from there to Perkins, where he lived three years; then he moved onto a farm near Rock Valley where he lived fourteen years.
Four years ago, he retired from the farm and moved with his family to Rock Valley, where the family reside in the present home.
Mr. Van Maanen was taken sick a few months ago, and continued to fail in spite of all the medical skill and loving care could do for him.
