- She was born Jacoba Stuut in 1862 in the country village Muntendam, Middenweg [Middle Road], located in the southeastern part of the Dutch northeastern province Groningen, daughter of the 31 years old laborer Jan Stuut and Evertje Smid.
On June 25, 1891 Jacoba Stuut married in Muntendam at the age of 18 years the two years older stoker, fireman Harm Nijboer, born in the town of Veendam, about two miles south of Muntendam, son of Hindrik Harms Nijboer and Jantje Tielman.
On July 3, 1893 Jacoba and the 22 years old factory laborer Harm had son Hendrik Nijboer in Muntendam.
On November 4, 1895 the 24 years old fireman Harm Nieboer arrived on the SS Spaarndam at the port of New York, Castle Garden. His destination is Chicago. His wife Jacoba Nieboer (23) followed him on April 20, 1896 on the SS Veendam, together with their son Henri (2) and her 17 years old sister Annie Nieboer [in fact Anja Jantina Hinderika Stuut, born on April 13, 1879 in Muntendam].
Jacoba is then Nederlands Hervormd (Dutch Reformed).
In April 1897 their son John was born in Illinois, very probably in Chicago, Cook County.
In June 1900 Jacoba (27), her husband Herman Niebour (29, railroad laborer) and their children Henry (6) and John (3) were living at an own home in Ward 4 of Raton City, Colfax County, New Mexico Territory, USA.
Raton was founded about 1878 at the site of Willow Springs, a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. In 1879, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway bought a local toll road and established a busy rail line. Raton quickly developed as a railroad, mining and ranching center for the northeast part of the New Mexico territory, as well as the county seat and principal trading center of the area.
Probably in 1901 they had son Jacob in Raton City, later on called Jacob Talsma and who stated (lied) that he was born on 9 June 1899 in New Mexico, not unlikely for becoming soldier to participate in World War I (1914-1918). Was he maybe in fact born on 9 June 1901??
Her husband Harm Nieboer died in February 1903 at the age of 32 years in Chicago.
On September 10, 1903 Jakoba Niebur remarried in Chicago at the age of 40 years the 10 years younger widower Nicholas Talsma, who brought three children from his first marriage with him.
On January 11, 1905 their son Nicolas Talsma was born in Chicago. His mother is then called Jacoba Stent. About 1907 their daughter Eva was born, very probably also in Chicago.
In April 1910 Jacoba (36) and Nicholas Talama (48 , carpenter) lived in Ward 32 of -south- Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, together with their children Henry [Nieboer] (16, teamster/lumber), Jacob [Nieboer] (8), Hilde (17), Sietse (13), George [Tjeerd] (10), Nicolas (5) and Eva (2). It looks that her son John Nieboer, born in April 1897, had meanwhile died.
On May 19, 1914 their son Dan Talsma died in Chicago, 1332 W. 73rd St., 12 days after his birth. He is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery. His mother is called Jacoba Stunt then. Nick Talsma Jr. died on March 6, 1919 in Arpin, Wood County, in the center of Wisconsin at the age of 14 years from influenza, complicated by pneumonia [Spanish flu?]. He is buried in Arpin Cemetery, Wood County, Wisconsin. It's likely that they stayed there with Nicholas' son George Talsma from his first marriage.
In January 1915 Jacoba died at the age of 41 years in Chicago .
In 1930 her 68 years old widower Nicklas Talsma resided in Dalton, Muskegon County, Michigan with the family of his daughter Jennie [Jantje] Talsma Hoffman (46). In 1940 the 78 years old Nicholas Talsma lived in Ward 18 of Chicago, Illinois, with the farmers family of his daughter Jennie [Jantje] Talsma Raven (56). They lived in 1935 at the same place.
Her widower Nicholas Talsma died in 1951 in Chicago at the age of 89 years.
