Jan Wouters Van De Werken age 58, and Jantje Kerstes Walstra age 56, and 4 of their children, came to America arriving on April 28th 1892 from Rotterdam South Holland on board the SS Veendam and entered through Ellis Island, New York.
They went to the Englewood area of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.
Cook County, Illinois, Deaths Index, 1878-1922 about "Yon Van De Werlan" shows that our "Jan Van De Werken" is buried in Oak Woods Cemetery, Cook County, Illinois.
No wonder I couldn't find his death record, his name is totally misspelled but the dates and places all match!!!
Fortunately I have a very smart cousin that found it, Thanks Cindy!!!
The last name Van De Werken was sometimes spelled Van der Werken, and some family members went by the last name "Workman".
I cannot thank Jennifer Madison enough for adding the photo of his cemetery marker!
