They married 3 May 1789 and\u00a0received four children: Tjeerd (born\u00a013 February 1790), Jeltje (born 12\u00a0October 1794), Joukje (born 5 April 1797) and\u00a0Sijbrichje (born 28\u00a0May 1802).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know\u00a0something about the founder of &#8220;Stichting Gebroeders de Jong&#8217;s Leen&#8221;\u00a0you have to\u00a0follow the trail of Mrs Joukje Herres Rinia. She married Mr Sijtze de Jong on 17 March 1822 who was born\u00a0on 27 May 1795 in Woudsend. He was\u00a0the son of Mr Sijtze Sijtzes de Jong baptized in Woudsend on 27 January 1771 and Mrs Janke Jelles\u00a0Zoethout\u00a0baptized in Woudsend on 19 November 1769. The couple married on 2 November 1794 in their hometown. On 4 August 1800 they departed with attestation of the Dutch Reformed Church in Woudsend to Joure where they lived on the Midstraat in\u00a0a\u00a0house at that time\u00a0no. 320. Mr Sijtze Sijtzes Sr. was butter merchant, judge in the\u00a0district of Akkrum and member of the &#8220;grietenijraad&#8221;, some sort of council\u00a0of\u00a0Haskerland. He died on February 2 1839. His wife died on May 12 1843. Both died in Joure.<\/p>\n<p>After their marriage Mr Sijtze Sijtzes Jr. and Mrs Joukje Herres Rinia also lived at the Midstraat in Joure\u00a0in\u00a0a house\u00a0with no. 80. In the public records of the municipality of Haskerland Mr Sijtze Sijtzes Jr. initially was registered as butter merchant. Only after 1860 his profession\u00a0was indicated &#8220;Farmer at\u00a0Westermeer&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In all respects Mr Sijtze the Young Jr. and Mrs Joukje Herres Rinia have not lived\u00a0a sunny life. They had 9 children though 5 of them deceased at a young or very young age. These were successively Reinskje (born July 19 1827, deceased April 22 1828), Herre (born February 19 1829, deceased December 15 1843) and Jan (born March 16 1831, deceased March 17 1852). The last one was registered as a carpenter&#8217;s servant but\u00a0has been\u00a0killed at sea. Afterwards the family lost\u00a0two\u00a0young Reinskjes named girls. The first Reinskje was born on February 1 1833 but died a half year later on 4 September 1834. The second Reinskje was born 19 November\u00a01834 died on 4 June 1859 almost 25 years old.<\/p>\n<p>It is remarkable only one of\u00a0the other four children\u00a0ever married. That was the eldest son Mr\u00a0Sijtze Sijtzes who was born on 20 July\u00a01823. He married in May 1855 Ms\u00a0Kalman Hiltje Hommes\u00a0at Jellum. In the registers of the municipality of Haskerland can be found that\u00a0these Mr Sijtze Sijtzes worked\u00a0on\u00a0a farm and that on May 6 1855\u00a0they left Jellum heading for\u00a0Joure Mantgum.<\/p>\n<p>More than two months later on July 29 1855 Joukje Herres De Jong Rinia died. Three of the four children at that time\u00a0were still alive. As mentioned earlier\u00a0Reinskje died on 4 June 1859. Soon after that Sijtze de Jong and\u00a0his three unmarried children moved from Joure to a farm located at a continuation of\u00a0the Oosterstraat and\u00a0the Oversitting\u00a0at Westermeer which was at that time\u00a0still an\u00a0seperate village. From 1860 on\u00a0he was registered as a farmer\u00a0at Westermeer in the public register of Haskerland. He died on September 30 1871. Afterwards his three children remained dwelling the farm and managing it. They were &#8211; in order of age &#8211; IJke born\u00a011 September 1825, Reinder born 30 January 1837 and Tjeerd born 10 November 1839.<\/p>\n<p>Tjeerd de Jong.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Germanic way of live<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]And thus we arrive at\u00a0&#8220;runes&#8221; and the &#8220;runenpleats&#8221; because of the fact that IJke, Reinder and Tjeerd\u00a0and the farm are known under that name and remain so\u00a0until today. It is difficult to say with certainty where that name came from. There are two opinions existing. The first\u00a0opinion says the name is consitent with\u00a0the\u00a0name Rinia\u00a0and should be considered as\u00a0a name corruption. But more likely the name &#8220;de runes&#8221; has something to do with\u00a0respect to the\u00a0rather Germanic way of life of the two brothers Reinder and Tjeerd although the link with the old Germanic runes as characters\u00a0is not clear. The habit\u00a0of Reinder and Tjeerd\u00a0to take a dip every morning\u00a0in\u00a0the Overspitting &#8211; a small canal which flowed in front of the farm &#8211; was not kept a secret. Their habit\u00a0was continued\u00a0during the winter months. If necessary they\u00a0chopped a hole in the ice in which\u00a0the two brothers bagged themselves. To make it a little easier\u00a0for them, at the front of the farmhouse where the brothers slept they built a type of building construction so they\u00a0could reach the Overspitting from their bedroom windows with only a few steps.<\/p>\n<p>During winter another &#8220;Germanic&#8221; habit shown was a\u00a0slaughtered sheep hanging in a tree next to the farm. When\u00a0needed they cut\u00a0a piece of meat from the sheep with a huge knife. If they fancied a chicken,\u00a0they simply\u00a0shot one of the chickens in the yard with a gun at gunpoint range. In the beginning of autumn the chicken stock was brought back on level by hairdresser Mr Dooitzen Wiebe de Boer who\u00a0kept\u00a0chickens for the small price of 35 cents each.<\/p>\n<p>With the revolver and sometimes with a gun they\u00a0also regularly hunted starlings and other birds they considered harmful. The passion for fire arms is also evident from the first testament (later revoked) that\u00a0Tjeerd had made\u00a0on 15 September 1900 in front of notary Mr K. Velding\u00a0at Joure witnessed by the\u00a0barbers from Joure Mr Dooitzen Wiebe de Boer and Mr Gerrit de Vries. That occasion he pointed his brother and his sister Reinder\u00a0and IJke\u00a0as\u00a0heirs but\u00a0devised to his nephew Mr Sijtzes Homme de Jong\u00a0at Mantgum &#8220;the sum of five\u00a0guilders to buy a gun &#8230;. . &#8220;.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Mr Dooitzen Wiebe de Boer<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The facts that he was included in the will of Tjeerd and was\u00a0called as a witness\u00a0shows that barber Mr Dooitzen Wiebe de Boer meant more to\u00a0De Jong family than only being a great man who could handle scissors and razor. This good relationship is partly to explain by the fact that Mr Sijtze de Jong and Mr Dooitzen de Boer were well known figures at auctions. As\u00a0proof of this good relationship\u00a0you can mention the fact that Tjeerd de Jong\u00a0was preferably shaved by\u00a0Wiebe Dooitzen de Boer, a son of Dooitzen Wiebe de Boer whom had been educated by his father in the barber business.\u00a0A shave costed 5 cents in those days but Tjeerd always paid double. Whether it was because he was very satisfied about the treatment or that he regarded the extra 5 cents\u00a0as\u00a0a compensation because\u00a0his brother\u00a0wore a\u00a0beard\u00a0and therefore did not visit the salon\u00a0very often\u00a0never became entirely clear. Probably all\u00a0this seems to express his satisfaction with the treatment because after the young hairdresser once had the misfortune to deliver his client\u00a0an incision in the chin, he did not receive\u00a0the royal tip!<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow frugality\u00a0was a feature of IJke, Reinder and Tjeerd de Jong. They had the living room of the farmhouse divided into three seperate rooms so\u00a0each of them would have to pay less tax.<\/p>\n<p>At least once a year their married brother Sijtze Sijtzes from Mantgum paid a visit to\u00a0Joure. These\u00a0visits always took place\u00a0at fair-Thursday. Even after the death of Sijtze Sijtzes on 4 November 1907 on &#8220;Jouster Merke-tongersdei&#8221;, the annual market day in Joure in 1908\u00a0at the farm at\u00a0the Overspitting\u00a0the table was\u00a0laid for four persons.

Probably both opinions\u00a0have\u00a0a bit of truth. Tjeerd and Reinder had their own opinions about things and\u00a0did not easy\u00a0deviate from their opinions. They were certainly not used to be dictated about\u00a0what they should do or not do. At Joure e.g. there was an unwritten law in force that on Sundays people did not walk or drive\u00a0against the flow of public heading towards the\u00a0church. But Tjeerd and Reinder did not\u00a0care at all. If\u00a0they wanted\u00a0to do so on Sundays they drove with their two horse-drawn carriage through the Midstraat no being bothered by\u00a0church people heading for the church.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the management of the farm.\u00a0During\u00a0mowing seasons\u00a0the two brothers were really on the move. This was evidenced by the fact that on these occasions\u00a0they especially liked to speak French said the lessons taken at\u00a0the &#8220;French School&#8221; which was located\u00a0at Joure. Their\u00a0employee Mr Meinte Bonthuis had learned a bit of French at that school too. When both brothers were highly satisfied\u00a0with the results of their work this enabled him to make a modest contribution\u00a0 to the conversation conducted in French with the words &#8220;oui, c&#8217;est bon&#8221;. It earned him a penny extra!<\/p>\n<p>However also another stories are still known. A good farmer will always try to get the hay dry inside. If there is rain in the air normally a farmer\u00a0worked with might and main to be ready on time before the storm erupts. If not Reinder and Tjeerd. They sang at such\u00a0moments the highest song without worries about having to cut grass or hay&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>But even so the &#8220;rune pleats&#8221; was\u00a0more than a farm with some land around it. Elsewhere in and around Joure land was acquired. Street names\u00a0at Joure as Ipesteinlaan en Wetterkamp still remember of these lands.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>How it ended<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the end of 1909\u00a0IJk, Reinder and Tjeerd\u00a0were seen for the last time\u00a0at Westermeer.\u00a0IJk was 84, Reinder 72 and Tjeerd 70 years old.

The rent was set at f 2,200 per year. Two days later\u00a0on 24 November 1909 the\u00a0brothers with their sister left to Leeuwarden.\u00a0Afterwards\u00a0the farm was rented only rented for a second time. That took place\u00a0on 28 February 1915. Mr\u00a0\u00a0Mr Sjouke Sjoerd Veenbaas from Oldeboarn\u00a0became the new tenant for\u00a0period of two years at a rent of f 2,325 per year.
