Jan Cornelis de Jong (19-11-1894 - 15-06-1969) was a son of Adam de Jong and Stijntje van Drunen.
Jannigje Slingerland (16-07-1899 - 10-08-1968) was a daughter of Jacob Slingerland and Jannigje de Jong.
Jan Cornelis (Jan) and Jannigje (Jannie) lived in Stolwijk at Benedenkerkseweg 108 until 1962. From 1962 until 1968 they lived at Benedenkerkseweg 108A.
Dad always liked to work alone and be in the fields. Then he didn't have to worry about being deaf. Mom was of course always busy with the family. Additionally, she did most of the cheese making.
You have no idea how poor we were. They had become farmers with cows worth 800 guilders, a few years later they were only worth 150 guilders. Then they had to sell the farm. But fortunately they were able to buy it back in 1954. Dad sometimes said that when everything was so difficult during the crisis, it had been his best time spiritually.
