Contributor's Notes
My Grandparents, Wilhelm Heinrich Niebur and Elisabeth Appinghoff Niebur, along with their five year old daughter, Hildegard Minna-Louise Niebur were all pasengers on this ship. They were immigrating to the United States from Witten-Ruhr, Germany. They traveled from Witten, Germany to Rotterdam, Holland by train and boarded the Veendam on October 13, 1925. My Aunt Hilda told me that they had some pretty rough seas and many of the passengers, including my grandmother, were quite sea-sick for the entire trip which lasted 12 days. They settled in Wheeling, West Virginia with their sponsor, Clara Niebur, my grandfather's 2nd cousin, unti my Grandfather could find employment and housing on their own. Among their documents I have found a receipt for $565.00 that they borrowed from Clara Niebur and Charlie W. Niebur to come to America. The loan was paid in full on June 16, 1927. My Grandfather worked for Wheeling Decorating Company until he retired. He and my grandmother were active members of the Zion Lutheran church and the Beethoven Singing Society. They had one more child after arriving in America, my father, William Henry Niebur. Hildegard still resides in Wheeling, West Virginia. My Grandmother and Grandfather are both buried at the Halcion Hills Cemetery in Wheeling.
