Mrs Heintje Sluiseman was born on 24-11-1899 in the former Municipality of Laren (now Lochem). On 9-5-1924 she married Mr. Jan Peter Kluvers. The marriage act shows that Mr. Kluvers is a house painter by profession and Mrs. Kluvers -Sluiseman (as she is called after her marriage) has no profession. She must have been a housewife like many women at the time. More data on how she lived are not available, despite in-depth research.
The Geldersch Archive in Zutphen has more information about both Mr. and Mrs. Kluvers available, but due to all kinds of legal rules, you are only allowed to look at it in the archive itself. Due to Covid, that is currently not possible. On 5-12-1999 Mrs Kluvers-Sluiseman died, one hundred years and two weeks old. She was buried at the Algemene Begraafplaats in Barchem.
In order to provide more information about the period mrs. Kluvers lived a list was made with all kinds of things that happened in the Netherlands during the period she lived. Some worldshocking, some just trivia.
