Mr. Witterman is now 73 years of ago, and he and his companion have journeyed along the pathway of life together for half a century; they have witnessed many changes in the growth and prosperity of this country, where they have lived so long, and which was so nearly a wilderness when they first came here; and their children and grandchildren can now enjoy many comforts and conveniences which they knew nothing of in their childhood, and all of which have been brought about by the labors of these worthy and honored pioneers. |
