Fotos family Ruud

(1911-1931) – (1908-1980) My father always suspected that Willem Frederik Gotjé had something to do with the death of Elisabeth Stuurman.

(1911-1931) She was my father’s favourite sister. Her cause of death was recorded as a fall of a staircase. However the real circumstances were mysterious. My father was devastated and it led to a complete break with his family with exception of his two other sisters Maria Anna and Bertha. They acted as go-between for…

(1911-2004) Maria Anna Stuurman (1897-1989), my mother and Bertha Stuurman (1898-1982) in 1976. Both the sisters Stuurman were dedicated ‘soldiers’ of the Salvation Army.
