Guild Butcher Van Sprang • Gouda by Candlelight • Portrait #24 • @1MEMO 20251212

Guild butcher Van Sprang lights the candles in his shop in the historic town center of Gouda at the start of the traditional december event of Gouda by Candlelight (video frame).

Candle Night • Kaarsjesavond • Gouda

The people of Gouda in Holland burn candles at the traditional december Candle Night event ‘Kaarsjesavond’ all over the historic town center.

I made a film reportage on that freezing cold (-7°C / 19°F) Friday night December 16, 2008.

Gouda street organs ‘Pansfluiter’ (Pan whistler) and ‘Het Zonnetje’ (Little Sun) play in the streets.

Kids of Music school Gouda play violin.

The candles in the giant tree on the central market square are lit, and the Carillon is played by Boudewijn Zwart.

In front of that massive crowd at the town hall in the city center Gouda songs are sung (Als de kaarsjes branden… Gouda stad van …) by Desiree Coumans with John de Heij (guitar) and Nils Davidse (piano).

Gouda people thanks!

Killer Windmill • @1MEMO 20250216


The story of my great-great grandmother killed by the spinning sails of her windmill , the Middle Mill in Stompwijk, Holland.

My great-great grandmother, Petronella van Dorp, was killed June 9, 1881, by the Middle Mill of these Three Windmills of Stompwijk. A row of windmills built in 1672 to drain water out of the Driemans polder in Stompwijk, Holland.

She was feeding the chickens, when the wind turned the windmill sails that grabbed her skirts and killed her, on June 9, 1881.

She was a miller’s wife — a widow at the time — of Leendert (Leonardus) van der Burg, my great-great grandfather.
Her eldest son Albert (my great-grandfather), a water miller too, and a former Papal Zouave (see below), reported her death the next day at the village town hall in Stompwijk.

Albert must have lost his Dutch citizenship after he had taken up ‘military service with a foreign power’, as a 16 year old boy, joining the Papal Zouaves from February 5, 1868 until 1870.
That might have had consequences for work as a water miller. He married in 1883 and appears to have lived a few years in Vlaardingen (near Rotterdam) – where my grandfather Machiel was born – before returning to Stompwijk with his wife Johanna van der Togt.

Albert’s brother, Pieter van der Burg, married May 8, 1882 with Magdalena de Bruin — a year after the fatal accident of his mother — and was a water miller on this Middle Mill (Middelmolen) in the Driemans polder in Stompwijk until 1892.
