Description
News items in the Holland City News, p. 5, reported the following: "The death of Dr. Van Raalte and the election has occupied much of our time during the week, which will account for the scarcity of local items." "Yesterday afternoon we witnessed the most imposing and largest attended funeral that ever took place in this city--that of Rev. A. C. Van Raalte, D.D. The ceremonies were too extensive and elaborate to notice in this issue. Next week we hope to be enabled to give them complete."

About the collection:
Elton J. Bruins, long-time professor in the Department of Religion at Hope College, spent years collecting documents by and about Albertus C. Van Raalte, founder of Holland, Michigan and early patron of Hope College. Documents were gathered from dozens of public and private collections, making a nearly exhaustive collection of Van Raalte's writings and reflections. It is these documents that make up the "Van Raalte Papers."
Digitizing the Van Raalte papers was supported by the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York. The project was done in partnership with Heritage Hall at Calvin University, which also digitized its Van Raalte collections.
