Jemima^8 Van Vickle (Aaron^7, Evert^6, Evert^5, Frederick^4, Evert^3, Gerrit^2, Jentie^1 Jeppes), b. 1833, Missouri. (It would appear that Van Vickles are descended from a common ancestor, Evert^5 Van Vickle. Since Aaron's age is not known precisely, it is possible that Aaron is a son of Evert^5, however, it is more likely that he is a grandson. There are several possibilities for Aaron's father among the sons of Evert^5 or perhaps a son of Evert not yet identified. Aaron is placed here tentatively in order to provide a logical beginning location that may be supported or refuted by subsequent research and analysis.)

Obituary of Jemima Van Vickle Klarman; Grant County Herald - Wednesday, July 7, 1909 --from Brian Christensen's Van Vickle Research, 1982-2000 

Miss Jemima Van Vickle was born in Warsaw, Missouti, October 4th, 1833. Her family moved to Patch Grove, Wisconsin in her childhood where she married John A. Foster, by whom she became the mother of four children, two of whom survive--Mrs. Kate Wilmot, of Osage, Iowa and A. A. Foster, who now lives in North Dakota. Andrew was accidentally killed while engaged in lumbering in the woods near Phillips, Wis. in 1886 and Mrs. Elizabeth Knoke died Jan. 12, 1907. 

Mr. Foster enlisted in the army at the outbreak of the civil war, adn died as a soldier in the early part of the war period. 

Mrs. Foster was married to John N. Klarman in 1867 in Burton, Grant, Wisconsin. They made their home on a farm in Waterloo Township. Five children were born to them, all of whom are still living. Lucy, now Mrs. P.E. Jewel, of Eureka Montana; Clara, now Mrs. James Gurney of Cassville; John N. of Wyalusing; Charles M. of Lancaster, and May, now Mrs. H.D. Jewell of Cassville. Mr. Klarman died February 19, 1878 leaving his wife to care for the family of children not yet old enough to make their way alone in the world. She maintained her home in the farm in Waterloo where she continued to reside till the fall of 1908, when she removed to Cassville. 

She went early in June to visit her son John and his family in Wyalusing and the call of death came very suddenly at about midnight of Monday, June 14, 1909. She had been troubled with a difficulty of the heart and her death was not entirely unlooked for, yet it came at an unexpected moment and when she had seemed quite well for some days. She had lived to see her children grown to manhood and womanhood and giving evidence of her ability and worth in training them for life's responsibilities. 

Mrs. Klarman lost two brothers in the Civil War and one died later in Prairie du Chien. She has two sisters still living, mrs. Susan Franklin of North Lancaster, adn Mrs. Austus Klarman of Sioux City, Iowa. She early accepted the Christian faith and became a member of the Methodist Church. her funeral services were held at the home of her son, John on Thursday, June 17th and the body was laid to rest by the side of her mother in Nagle cemetery in Patch Grove. The service was conducted by Rev. Wagner, of Lynxville. Mr. and Mrs. George Glenn, Mrs. Stella Scott, and Harry Ails sang appropriate hymns. 

...words cannot express the worth of a good mother. May her memory be treasured and her virtues perpetuated in the lives that have been blessed
by knowing and loving her.
