The History Of Sioux County, J. W. Warnshuis

Memoirs

In 1879, Rev. J. W. Warnshuis (1840-1901) wrote a series of recollections about early Sioux County history, which were published in serial form in the Dutch-language newspaper De Volksvriend. Warnshuis describes the settlement of the county, its geography, its leaders, and its religious and educational institutions. He writes extensively about the grasshopper plagues, explaining their life cycle and suggesting methods to prevent their destruction.

Warnshuis served as an area pastor in the Reformed Church and as a Bible instructor and minister at Northwestern Classical Academy.

Translated by Dr. Paul Vander Kooi.
