| Enno Ralph Haan, father of Eunice, Robert and Elaine married Elizabeth Ruiter in her family home at 636 Olympia St. SW. The couple were madly in love. They lived just opposite each other as Enno was living at the time at John and Cora Hekman's home on Grandville Ave. Aunt Cora was Enno's aunt and he was attending high school at the time. Enno was born on Grandville Ave. above his parents grocery store. As his family grew larger, he spent much of his very early years at his grandmother Haans' home living with his two unmarried aunts, Minnie and Cora. Cora's sister Ricky was John Hekmans first wife who died in child birth for her daughter Freda. John married Cora who helped raise her nephew Edward and neice Freda. Enno's father Chris decided to move his family to Sully,Iowa where he set up another grocery-meat market. Enno hated Iowa and his mother encouraged him to return to Gr, get his high schooling and College degrees which he very much wanted to do. He met Liz, fell in love and they decided to marry because Liz was 3 months pregnant. Liz felt so terrible she wanted to die and was found on the banks of Grand River by her father before she went into the water. Her father reassured her of their love and understanding and the wedding was arranged. Enno went to Calvin College, Eunice was born, they first lived on Sheridan Ave. just off from Hall St. Enno was an all A student in high school and college. He taught at Calvin for a year in the History Dept. which was his major. He then accepted a position at the Pine Christian school on the West side of GR. He had to give up teaching during the Depression years as the pay was only $6 a week and he had 3 children at that time to provide for. Enno went into the Insurance business which he did well but never liked. He then was offered a position with Curtiss 1000 Envelope Co. as the main sales Rep. in the State of Michigan. He enjoyed this work immensely and financially very well. He held this position until his untimely death at age 59. Enno loved to read and was a history scholar. He enjoyed going to Florida every winter with his best friend since boyhood, Arie De Borst. He was a gentle man, a strong leader in the church having served as the clerk/sec'y on several occasions. He was very fond of his grandchildren and proud of his son Bob who obtained a Mater's Degree in Social Work from the U of Mich. Enno died suddenly on the sidewalk in front of St. Mary's hospital in Gr. around 2:30 pm. He is buried at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens with his wife Liz. who died at age 90, in 1993. |
| Elizabeth was a "tom-boy" when a very young girl. She loved the outdoors and flowers. She was a superb baker and many of her recipes remain popular throughout the family. She was a very devoted wife and mother and her home was the center of her life which included her beautiful gardens. She raised prize African violets and had a very "green-thumb". Her Grandchildren were her pride and joy. She lived with her husband Enno and three children in five diferent homes. They include: Sheridan Ave , 644 Hogan St. Sw, 1728 Clyde Park Sw, 1141 Neland Ave. Se, 1455 Rossman SE, At age 83 she moved into Raybrook Manor where she lived until she died at age 90. The last year of her life involved some confusion and she died of heart failure. She had suffered high blood pressure most of her life but generally enjoyed good health. She continued to travel to Lake Worth, Florida following Enno's death and she usually went with her very close companion, Ann Van Klieft who was also a widow. Liz learned how to drive at age 60 and was an excellent driver. She also learned how to managed all her stocks and bonds and increased them substanially. She prided her independence and although had opportunities to remarry, preferred the single life. The only work she did outside of her home was prior to her marriage which involved addressagraphing. She was always a very good student, graduated from the eight grade at South High school in Gr. She was extremely well read and studied Enno's textbooks along with him while he was in College. She was able to keep up with her husband's peers and they socialized primarily with highly educated friends. Liz would make dozens of stripes of BANKET at Xmas time for friends and family.
