Gerrit Mulder

Gerrit was born at his parents’ house (Waterweg 59). Around 1852 he moved to the farm known as De Blauwe Schuit (The Blue Barge, now a municipal monument), where he joined over two dozen laborers working there across the period 1850-1870. The farm consisted of the main house (built around 1800 and still present at Gervenseweg 18), a baking house, and water pumps. In 1855 he married the widow Maartje, but died eight years later.
