Henry J. Scholten, a resident of the Alton vicinity since 1884, died Wednesday night, April 26, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Anthony Aberson. He was 72 years old last December and passed on from the effects of a paralytic stroke.

Mr. Scholten was born Dec. 12, 1866 at Sutphen, Netherlands, and when a small child came to the United States with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Gerhardus Scholten. THe family lived in Chicago until March 1884, when they came to Sioux County and settled on a farm north of Alton. On July 22, 1899 he was married to Miss Annie Ketel. Nine children were born to the couple, of whom two died in infancy. Surviving are Gerrit Scholten, Julia (Mrs. A. Aberson) both of Alton; Lawrence Scholten of Orange City; Marie, Leona, Elroy and Marlys, all at home. Two brothers and a sister also survive; namely, Herman Scholten of Alton; Mrs. Carl Wissink and Will Scholten of Orange City. Mrs. Scholten died nine years ago.

Mr. Scholten was a kind parent, a good neighbor and friend. A large number of relatives and friends came to pay respect to his memory at the funeral services Saturday afternoon, held at the First Reformed Church of which he was a faithful member and long a worker and leader in church affairs. Rev. E. Van Engelenhoven was in charge of services and interment was in Nassau Township Cemetery.
