Bethulie
THE OTHER MISSION ON THE CIRCUIT, and a font this family came back to. FREDERIK FORTUNATUS KOLBE was born here in 1839 — the source of a forename that has since crossed into four surnames — and JOHAN CASIMIR in 1844, the year his father died. FORTY-TWO YEARS LATER Frederik Fortunatus brought his own youngest daughter, ADRIANA HENRIETTA JOHANNA, back to be baptised here on 23 October 1881.
