The short , sad and pitiful life of WILHELMINA FRANCINA VEEN


# The life story of WILHELMINA (Mientje) FRANCINA VEEN , born on July 2nd 1899 in the Dutch place of Wormerveer , is a short , pitiful and depressing one .
Mientje was the only daughter of father Rijkman Veen and mother Jantje ten Wolde .
Rijkman and Jantje had five children , four sons and one daughter : Mientje .
Their four sons would all grow up safe and well , all four of them would later enter into matrimony and have one or more children themselves , very much únlike Mientje .....
When Mientje was ten years young , she was diagnosed with scarlet fever ánd with appendicitis developing into peritonitis .......
There still must have been an operation , not in a hospital but at home , but her entire fysical condition at the time must have been beyond human help ......

Mientje Veen passed away in the little Dutch town of Wijk bij Duurstede on April 16th 1910 , at the very young age of just ten years ....
