Keimpe DILLEMA

Keimpa was 3 years younger than his wife Antje. He died young, in his 30s or 40s of pneumonia(?) This was usually a fatal illness in those days before the war and the development of penicillin. Pake (his grandson) said Antje died 1 year before his wedding (which was in 1931) at the age of 92, so she must have been born in 1838 and died in 1930, meaning Keimpe was born in 1841 and died in the 1870s.
