Sioux Center Community Hospital and was raised on the Franken family farm in Welcome Township. She attended the Sioux Center Christian grade school and graduated from the Sioux Center Community High School in 1971. She then attended Stewart's School of Hairstyling in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and graduated from there in 1972. In the fall of 1972, she opened Fashion Hair Beauty Shop in the build· ing which is now the Pizza Ranch. After her marriage to Leon, she moved her salon to their home on Main Avenue.

Gloria has three brothers, Willard, Ken, and Gerry, all of Sioux Center, and one sister, Diane (Witt) of rural Hawarden.

Leon is the son of Milo and Gertrude (Westerbeck) Te Grotenhuis, who resided in Sioux Center and are now both deceased. His pater· nal grandparents are Gerrit and &na (Bonnema) Te Grotenhuis from Orange City, Iowa. His maternal grandparents are William and Jenny (Vander Horn) Westerbeck of Lar· chwood. All grandparents are now deceased.

Leon was born on November 15, 1950, at the Orange City Hospital. He lived on a farm by Orange City until he was five. His family then moved to Sioux Center. He attended the Sioux Center Community School. Leon was in the U.S. Army from1 1970-1972. When Leon returned from service, he went to work for Pete Dykstra in Hull, Iowa. After a time, he went to work at Sioux Preme Packing in Siou.x Center for 9 years. Leon now drives truck for Demeo Mfg. Company in Boyden, Iowa.

Leon has two brothers, Larry of Siou.x Center, Loren of Hull, Iowa, and one sister, Lenyce (Wielenga) of Orange City, Iowa.

Leon and Gloria purchased one acre of ground from Gloria's father and grandfather in July of 1977. This is located in Welcome Township just south of the Franken family fann. There they built a new home where they are presently residing.

Leon and Gloria have five children. A daughter, Heather Ann, was born on March 4, 1976, at Sioux Valley Hospital in Sioux Fails, South Dakota. She attends the Sioux Center Commu· nity School. A son, Seth Lee, was born on June

In January 1988, Leon and Gloria began paperwork to do a South American adoption. They completed the paperwork in March of 1988, and on July 21, 1988, they received a phone call telling them of twin girls available to them for adoption. The girls were born June 25, 1988, and were in Lima, Peru. Leon, Gloria, Heather and Seth flew to Lima on July 30. They arrived in Lima on July 31, and were presented with their twin girls on August 1. The girls were named Calee Maye and Maggie Ann. The family remained in Lima for seven weeks to finalize the adoption process.

Leon, Gloria and children enjoy camping, boating, skiing, and swimming. Gloria still works part time in her salon.

They are all members of Central &formed Church.

TE PASKE, ANTHONY AND AGNES

F560

Anthony (baptized Dirk Antonie, anglicized to Derrick Anthony), was born October 15, 1868, Greenleafton, Minnesota, and died February 11, 1946, Sioux Center, Iowa.

Agnes (baptized Ak.ke) Dykstra. Born August 7, 1878, Pinjum, Friesland, Netherlands, and died June 12, 1954, Evergreen Park, Illi nois.

Cope Ten Passe appears to be the "Adam" of the Te Paske clan, at least so far as the genealogists of the family have been able to ascertain. From his birth in 1640 to the end of that century, the family name evolved through Ten Passche toTe Passche and settled down to Te Paske. The source and meaning of the name remain obscure but it is reasonable to speculate that it refers to an estate or other large land holding from which servants or tenants may have taken their family names when those were ordained.

Out of this lineage of farm laborers came Hendrik Jan Te Paske who was bo.rn near Aalten, Gelderland in 1816, and who married Dela Antonia Tarnmel in 1853. Dela Antonia died in 1965 after having borne six children, four of whom survived her and still needed mothering.

It is not clear when G€zina Tarnmel entered the picture. She was born in 1847, 18 years younger than her deceased sister and 31 years younger than the widower, Hendrik Jan. Fam· ily lore has it that she came to the assistance of the bereaved family and that this association led to her marriage to Hendrik Jan in 1867.

This marriage outraged family and community, either because of its unseemly haste or because of the great disparity of age. The consequent ostracization and harrassment suffer ed by the couple led shortly to a decision to emigrate. Thus it was that Hendrik Jan Te Paske, four children from his first marriage. and his now pregnant young wife, left tht

a wido_w three years his iumior. The ::; nurtunng the twa younger br.oys in the fanill seemingly developed upon tl:neir sister Joh ~ na Adriana, who married Aremd J . Pe~ ~n November 23, 1877. Here iti; is instructive to note that, followmg the deat!h of Hendrik Jan Te Paske on De<:ember 28, 1886, this AJ. Pennings was appointed guau-dian of Anthony and Herman Te Paske, evem though tlie stepmother and older brother~ still survived.

It is in the same undOCUIIIlented period of Anthony Te Paske's life that 19.11 or nearly all of his primary and second!UJV education took place. Certainly his prim~ education 'liB.&

provided by the rudimentBrF public education system that existed at the t!ime, for there wu no other. Instruction begam in 1832 at the fledgling Northwestern ClBS.<Bical Academy, at which point Anthony was 14 umd positioned to be one of the early graduateS~, which he was in 1889.

The fifth clause of the lasrt will and testa· ment of Hendrik Jan Te Paslke, dated Ocrober 5, 1885, shortly before Antlnony's 18th birth· day, read: "It is my will and dlesire that my son Anthony Te Paske may be semt to college until he shall attain the age of tt;wenty one yean unless he sooner graduates b» his own satisfsc· tion, - and such sums as sfuall be expend~ upon hjs education and supp<Ort after my death I desire shall be deducted fr({)m or be a charge against his share of my estate given him by this will."

Why Hendrik .Jan thougfut it necessary w insert that clause in his will! is puzzling. H.t may have been much enannored of his sons interest in higher educatiom or ~e maY h;~ feared 'that others in the famiily tnlght stan lD

Agnes went to country school and grad!uated from Northwestern Classical Academy where she fll"8t met Anthony Te Paske. By age :U6 she was herself a country school teacher, to which profession she was rudely initiated bty the cyclone of May 1895 which destroyed the schoolhouse, but fortunately neither pupiils nor teacher.

It is not surprising that the young and ambitious school teacher was readily atbracted to the educated and eligible lawyer whOJ came to establish himself in Sioux Center; 01r that together they were swept along by the tide of

optimism that fostered widespread belief in the perfectability of the individual and of society. Their marriage was the fll"8t performance of that sacrament in the newly rebuilt First Reformed Church, whereafter they settled themselves on a three-acre plot on the east side of Wayenburg Street (now 4th Avenue) which Anthony had previously purchased from the same Auke Vander Schaaf who was in the party with which Agnes had traveled to the United States. But Agnes was not content merely to stay at home; soon she was herself embarked upon the study of law under the tutelage of her husband and was admitted to the Iowa Bar in 1909.

Meanwhile both engaged themselves in a wide range of church, civic, and political activities, all of which they continued throughout their active lives. Both taught Sunday School for many years and were active in support of the mission program of the Reformed Chur· ch.They were also leaders in the Temperance movement which was gaining great strength at the time.

Together Anthony and Agnes initiated a series of citizenship classes for newly arrived immigrants, helping them in their English language skills and introducing them to the fundamentals of American government. These classes culminated in a pro-forma judicial examination and swearing-in ceremony at the Sioux County Courthouse, typically followed by a "reception" hosted by the W.C.T.U. The process effectively lent dignity and meaning to the day of "naturalization." No formal records were kept but reliable estimates indicate that more than 1000 immigrants - mostly young men - went through the classes at the Te Paske horne.

Northwestern College, more exactly, the predecessor Northwestern Junior College, was the object of their attention and effort. Both had attended the related Academy, Anthony had taught there and he was a long-standing member of the Academy Board of Trustees. A1J early as 1908 an effort :was made to offer college-level courses, but though this failed, the hope remained alive. By 1928 there was a revival of local support, but the blessing of the parent Reformed Church and its governing synod remained in doubt. Anthony Te Paske was selected to make the case for the approval of a junior college program at the 1928 meeting of the General Synod. In the end, the Synod granted approval for a trial period of three years. Though the trial period led directly into the Great Depression, Northwestern Junior College survived and evolved into the solid four-year college that exists today, in no small part due to the lifelong support of Anthony and Agnes Te Paske.

Although she was active in many aspects of community life, Agnes never held elective public office. Anthony, on the other hand, was from the early days of his career, more often in than out of public office. Between 1910 and 1940 he was Mayor of Sioux Center for a total of 16 years. He served as Sioux County Attorney from 1915 until 1921 and in the Iowa House of Representatives during the sessions of 1931, 1943, and 1945.

Anthony was further deeply involved in the affairs of the community, not only through his practice of law but also through membership/chairmanship of the board of the First National Bank from 1910 until his death in 1946.

Although he was a conspicuously social and public person, Anthony loved the solitude of his garden and the orchard that contained many apple trees and grape vines. For many years it was one of the rites of passage for the youth of the community to snitch apples and grapes from Anthony's "Eden", a tradition which he regarded with a benign amusement clearly reflected in his own report to his Harvard classmates in a 50th reunion record: "Our home is a three-acre plot on the edge of town. There's a grove, some shade trees, and fruit trees, nearly all of my own planting; grape vines, and shrubbery, and a garden where I get my fun and exercise. And liie flows gently as the murmuring brook. My hobby: gardening. My obsession: children."

Agnes was 67 when her husband died on February 11, 1946, but not prepared to retire into her grief. Sioux Center had never had a true hospital and she was credited for arousing community interest in meeting this need. The "peace dividend" of 1945 made some federal monies available for rural hospitals and jolted the community into action. At a February 20, 1946, Agnes was appointed to membership in the fmance committee assigned to raise the

546

required local two-thirds of the projected costs. She was only one member of the committee but she took the job seriously and threw herself wholeheartedly into the task. The subsequent success of the project was one of the crowning achievements in her long career of community service and she remained enthusiastically involved with the hospital until her own death in an automobile accident on June 10, 1954.

The Te Paskes had three children. Amy Ruth, born on May 12, 1908, was adopted and came to live with the family on March 1, 1913. She married ralph Broad, now deceased, in 1933 and lives in Quincy, Michigan. Maurice Anthony, bornonJanuary5,1916, died on July 13, 1976. Adelphos Herman (Del) was born on November 28, 1917, and still resides in Sioux Center.

A second son was born to Anthony and Agnes Te Paske at their Sioux Center home on November 28, 1917, and they named the child Adelphos Herman. Why? Agnes had a loved and scholarly brother whose baptized Frisian name was Broer Doekles Dykstra, and he became the Rev. B.D. Dykstra of certain renown in Reformed Church circles. "Broer" trllllBiates literally into the English "brother.H With a bow to the brother Broer's expertise in classical languages, the parents bypassed the merely mundane and leaped directly to the ridiculous, using the Greek word for "brother", that is "adelphos." Exhausted by this feat of linguistics, they settled on "Herman", the name of Anthony's highly favored younger brother, as a second name.

Nevertheless, the child grew and prospered and in due course graduated from Sioux Center

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 1729

Memorial to the Honorable Ant)lony Te Paske of Sioux County

MR. SPEAK~: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public services of the late Honorable Anthony Te Paske, begs leave to submit the following memorial:

Anthony Te Paske was born of Dutch parentage in a log cabin in Greenleafton, Minnesota, October 15, 1868. He moved with his parents to Sioux County, Iowa, where he resided continuously until his death.

After graduating from Grinnell College and Harvard University, he taught English and Greek for four years. He was admitted to the bar in 1897 and c:ontinued to practice law until his death. He was an active member of the. State, Twenty-first Judicial District, and Sioux County Bar associations.

~- enjoyed and merited the confidence of his many clients and of his ft: lawyers. Being an interested and enthusiastic supporter of all worthwhile things, he was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church and served as Sunday school teacher for thirty-seven years. He was mayor of his home town for sixteen years, county a ttorney of Sioux County for twelve years, vice president and chairman of the board of his home bank, and trustee for the Northwest Junior College and Academy twenty years. He enjoyed travel and made several trips abroad with his family. He owned a number of farms, and was interested in farming and farm problems.

As state representative, he was an ardent supporter of the temperance forces and the Republican party. It was due to his own idea and effort that a Bible was purchased and autographed by all members of the Fiftyfirst General Assembly, and given a place on the speaker's rostrum of the House of Representatives. He served diligently during the Fortyfourth, Fiftieth, Fiftieth Extra, and Fifty-first General Assemblies. He was often asked to express the thoughts of the Assembly on occasions that demanded eloquent words of wisdom such as no one but he could deliver.

Mr. Te Paske died at his home at Sioux Center on February 11, 1946. He is survived by his wife, Agnes Te Paske, and three children. His daughter, Mrs. Ralph Broad, resides in Quincy, Michigan; his son, Maurice, who was his Jaw part.ner, and the other son, Adelphos, both reside in Sioux Center.

Mr. Te Paske was an outstanding citizen, and his service to his state will long be remembered.

Therefore, Be It Resol1Jed by the H<YUBe of Representati1Jes of the Fifty-second General Assembly. That in the death of the late Honorable Anthony Te Paske; the State has lost an outstanding Christian citizen.

Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be spread upon th' T ournal of the House, and that the Chief Clerk be instructed to send a rolled copy to the family of the deceased.

RUSSELL A. PATRICK,

HARRY E. WATSON,

B. L. DATISMAN,

Committee.
