Tombstone Tuesday: Schuurman

This is the oldest grave I could find in Brandenburg cemetery. The cemetery opened in 1900, this grave is from December 1900.

The grave is the final resting place of Maria Schuurman neé Polman (1873-1900). In 1925 her husband Dirk Schuurman (1869-1925) was buried here too, even though he remarried.

From Genlias: Dirk Schuurman, 28, born in Putten, son of Jan Schuurman and Maria Horseling, and Maria Polman, 24, born in De Bilt, daughter of Aart Polman and Hendrika van Dompzelaar, married on 5 November 1897 in De Bilt. Maria Polman died 26 December 1900 in Utrecht at the age of 27. Dirk Schuurman, 35, married Teuntje van den Berg, 32, daughter of Teunis van den Berg and Gerrigje de Ridder, on 30 November 1904 in Utrecht. Dirk Schuurman, husband of Teuntje van den Berg, died 7 June 1925 in Utrecht.

I don't know where Teuntje van den Berg is buried.
