Hermannus 

Walter Kronemeyer and Diena Ter Avest were married in June of 1871. 

All of the children were born in Fillmore Township of Allegan County, MI and were baptized in Overisel Reformed Church in Overisel, MI.

Diena died of complications from childbirth in 1886.  The son, Daniel Hermannus, was named after her. Wolter did not feel he could take care of the young children, so various relatives took them in. 

Anna Kronemeyer lived with her Aunt Wilhelmina Kronemeyer Kollen and uncle Hendrik Jan Kollen for eight years. Her cousin Maria Wilhelmina Kollen was the same age. When clothing was made, it was done in duplicate. Anna and Maria looked like twins.
