Found names of Eilts family photo
I found this
photo during my ancestry work. Tjark has the same ancestors as I, but we are very very far related.
I guess the photo shows him, his wife, Imke and the five living children to that time. So they were Katherine, Jacob Edgar (the young man in the middle), Irena Adalaide "Rena", Wilhelmina Edzardina and Anna Tjamde Eilts (but don't know which girl is who on the photo). Two other children of this couple died before. See also here: https://de.findagrave.com/memorial/12776999/tjark-h_-eilts

A message from Country Florist
Friends,
I've had so many folks asking questions I feel like I need to make a few things clear.
Country florist is not closing. The shop is doing fantastic despite the changes. In the past 2 years wholesalers, greenhouses, and many other suppliers of mine have shut their doors making some of my products harder to get or more expensive to keep stocked. The floral industry as a whole has changed so much since I started in it 13 years ago. No one likes change but in order to thrive and continue as a full service, small town florist I have had to change in order to stay open!
The storefront will continue to be stocked and open whenever I am there. The past few months I've been in and out every day except some Sundays. I am not always there during business hours or for an 8-10 hours span like I use to. I am however doing many weddings, funerals, parties, home decor jobs, church flowers, anniversaries, birthdays, get wells, and I'm sorry bouquets! ....the SAME as this shop has since the 1950s!!
I am ALWAYS available by phone. Shop# 309-432-2555 cell# 309-645-0732 (also txt) If you don't reach me immediately it could be because I'm with my kids, assisting another customer, on the other line, delivering, or just am done answering calls for the day if it's evening. If you leave a message it is the fastest way to let me know you need something. Ordering online my website is countryfloristminonk.org or messaging my Facebook on my personal or the shop page is great too!
I want to be available to you!! I do!!
My hours for Valentine's Day week are: Monday - closed; Tuesday - 12 to 5; Wednesday - 8 to 4; Thursday - 7 am to 7 pm; Friday - 7 am to 7 pm.

Jennifer Murrah: Love your beautiful flowers! I also love that u are local!
David Dunham: I always support local when I can , I appreciate you always willing to help out and do a great job with any floral that I have needed. Keep up the great work!
Russell Ruestman: Keep up the great work, Lindsey. I truly appreciate your flexibility in how we can order/contact you. A lot of people in Minonk commute to work and cannot always get back to town during normal hours. It is great that we can text or call you, and know the order will show up on time and always looking awesome.
Kay Gibbs: Thank you for your loyal dedication...your beautiful work...your enthusiasm...to our small town...youre the best...hugs..
Sharon Holroyd McCully: Even if it's daily, can you post on FB the hours you are or are not there?
I've wanted to come over a few times, and FB is an easy way to see if you are there that day. Thanks. Love your shop and your work!
Angela Ekl Lipinski: Awesome this helps alot
Debby White: I just love that you are still there and will be
Loren Smith: I appreciate doing business with you over the phone all the way from North Pole, Alaska. I wish you continued success.
Michelle Garmon: You are fantastic! Couldn't have asked for more gorgeous flowers than what you made up for my parents' anniversary. They were perfect!!!
Jill Davidson Ludwig: This post is perfect in letting everyone know you are still here for us and finding a away to make it work in our changing world. This is a great solution that helps all of us.
You do an AMAZING job and I am always blessed by the gifts and arrangements you do for me, family, friends, daycare families. Thank you for all you do and blessings to you and your family.
