Tim Dykstra Farm Life and Holland Roots Chronicle Visit
The Dykstra family on the old farm near Leighton hosts a weekly Chronicle visit. Timothy and Tunis Dykstra share roots in Holland, discuss weather, prices, and local schooling, while Tim and family adapt the historic homestead and look to better soil and livestock prospects. The piece also notes William H. Vande Voort and family, with Holland-born wife, their two sons, bank robbery reactions, and community ties in Oskaloosa and Tracy.
