Tombstone Tuesday: Gijzen

Here rests our dear wife and mother, Maria Gijzen - Schippers, 22 February 1891 - 7 August 1953. And our dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Dirk Gijzen, 8 April 1884 - 13 August 1967.

I could find the following marriage in Genlias, the Dutch BMD database: Dirk Gijzen, son of Christiaan Gijzen and Neeltje Aartje Gijzen, 28, from Loosdrecht, and Maria Schipper [sic], daughter of Hendrik Schipper and Antje van ter Meij, 21, from Loosdrecht, married on 3 October 1912 in Loosdrecht.

Breukelen cemetery

A relatively new cemetery in the town Breukelen. The oldest graves I could find are from the 1940s. There seems to be plenty of space for new graves at the far end of the cemetery.

I will highlight a few individual graces in future posts. As always, there are more photos on flickr. Enjoy the photo impression!
