Do you know who John Claassen was??? He was born about 1882 in Iowa, and lived with Henry and Reenstine Claassen Krull in 1900 in Clark County, South Dakota and moved to Hughes County and was living near them there. I asked Aunt Dena and she said he was a cousin of Grandma Krull's, but she didn't know which Uncle he belonged to.
In the 1900 Census for Clark County, South Dakota, my grandparents were living in Haque Township and there was a John Claassen living with them who was born about 1882 in Iowa.

Then in 1920 Census for Pleasant Valley Township, Hughes County, South Dakota,
John L. Claassen age 38 (1882) born in Iowa and is a farmer
Lena Claassen age 31 (1889) born in Iowa
Laverne (or Lawrence) J. Claassen age 1 1/12 (1919) Iowa

Then in 1930 Census for Pleasant Vally Township, Hughes County, South Dakota.
John L. Claassen, age 49(1881/2), head, born in Iowa, and is a farmer
Lena Claassen, age 41(1889), wife, born in Iowa
Laverne (or Lawrence) J. Claassen, age 11(1919), son
Lorainne Claassen, age 8(1922), daughter
Johnie Claassen, age 3 7/12(1926/7), son

Hello, while looking for "my" John Claassen, I came accross your post. I found a Claassen family(spelled Claufsen)listed on a ship register for Princess? Alice that left Bremmen on 23 Apr 1904 arrived in NY ? 1904, Johann is going to Bancroft, ND to live with Uncle R? Krull. The names are: Will 13, Luppe 11, Johann 9, Reeno 7, Reenste 5 yrs. I just saved the 2nd page with Johann's name on it, and remember his mother and father were on the previous page.
