Zeeland Historical Society members Dorothy Voss, left, and Marlene Veldheer re-edited the stories of Zeeland teacher and historian Anthonette Van Koevering Wildschut and published them in the new book 'Grandma's Stories.'

Teacher and historian Anthonette Van Koevering Wildschut had so many enjoyable memories about her family's life in Zeeland she wrote them in a collection of work before she died in August 2003.

Now those stories are available again in a re-edited and re-published book titled 'Grandma's Stories.' Zeeland Historical Society members Dorothy and Judy Voss and Marlene Veldheer re-edited the book. Brian Van Hoven, of the Zeeland Print Shop, printed the book, which is now available for purchase.

Dorothy Voss and Veldheer said they spent many pleasant hours reading aloud the narratives of distant ancestors, family relationships, teaching experiences, and friendly neighbors outlined in Van Koevering Wildschut's stories.

'As with all excellent teachers, Toni has opened a way for each person, each family to put pen to paper, fingers to keyboards, cameras to action, tapes to record, scrapbooks to completion, in order that the histories of families can live forever in words and photographs,' Voss and Veldheer said in the book's preface.

Also in the book's preface, Van Koevering Wildschut's daughter, Ellen Hutt, praised her mother's devotion to researching Zeeland's early days as part of the historical society and sharing her own stories with children at local schools and the Dekker Huis/Zeeland Historical Museum.

'We hope that through this book future generations will learn about the history of Zeeland, and the great courage and faith of the early settlers,' Hutt said.

The book tells the stories dating back to the area's first settlers among the Indians to the first automobiles to the development of downtown Zeeland along with personalizing the immigrant experience of the Van Koevering, Van Hoven, Vande Luyster, and De Jonge families.

Veldheer said one of her favorite stories in the book is 'Elm Street Long Ago and Now.' The story is a narrative of what Elm Street once looked and sounded like from Van Koevering Wildschut being able to squint her eyes from her grandparents' farm on North Fairview Road and see the canning factory where the De Bruyn Seed Co. now stands and Van Bree's Drug Store being moved brick by brick a little south on Elm Street to the 'rat-a-tat-tat' of a telegraph machine at the train depot.

Van Koevering Wildschut also writes of her life and family, from starting kindergarten at Zeeland Christian School in 1923 to returning there to teach in 1964.

Dorothy Voss said she enjoyed reading and editing Van Koevering Wildschut's stories about first teaching job in Byron Center, specifically where she searched for clean socks and shoes without holes for a student in need.

The County of Zeeland (Dutch: Graafschap Zeeland) was a county of the Holy Roman Empire in the Low Countries. It covered an area in the Scheldt and Meuse delta roughly corresponding to the modern Dutch province of Zeeland. The County of Zeeland did not include the region of Zeelandic Flanders which was part of Flanders; conversely, the modern Province of Zeeland does not include Sommelsdijk, historically part of the County of Zeeland.

History[edit]

The area has always been the prey of its stronger neighbors, the County of Holland, the County of Hainaut and the County of Flanders. In 1012 Emperor Henry II the Saint enfeoffed the French count Baldwin IV of Flanders with Zeeland after which both counties were ruled in personal union, contested by northern Holland from the beginning. In 1167 a war broke out between the counties, after which Count Floris III of Holland had to acknowledge the overlordship of Count Philip of Flanders in Zeeland. Count Floris IV of Holland (1222-1234) reconquered Zeeland, which from the accession of Count Floris V, the son of William II of Holland, in 1256 was ruled in personal union by Holland.

By the 1323 Treaty of Paris between Flanders and Hainaut-Holland, the Count of Flanders reneged from claims on Zeeland and recognized the count of Holland as Count of Zeeland. Nevertheless, Zeeland remained a separate administrative unit, which in turn was under the administration of the counts of Holland. In 1432 it was annexed by the Burgundian duke Philip the Good and became part of the Burgundian Netherlands. After the death of Mary of Burgundy in 1482, Zeeland according to the Treaty of Senlis was one of the Seventeen Provinces held by the House of Habsburg, which in 1512 joined the Burgundian Circle.

After the Eighty Years' War, Zeeland was one of the United Provinces of the Dutch Republic established in 1581. Both before and after Dutch independence Zeeland shared some institutions with the States of Holland and West Friesland, such as the supreme court, the Supreme Council of Holland, Zeeland and West-Friesland, after the northern provinces had removed themselves from imperial authority and the jurisdiction of the Grand Council of Mechelen.

After establishment of the States-General of the Netherlands in 1583, Middelburg initially became the place of assembly. From 1585 on they were held in The Hague. As a (theoretically) independent (part)state the county Zealand ceased to exist under the Batavian Republic in 1795, when it became a département. Together with Zeeuws-Vlaanderen it today forms the province of Zeeland.
