Tombstone of Robertus Joan Castendijk

Grave number 1279 on the Moravian Cemetery of Zeist belongs to Robertus Joan Castendijk. The (translated) text on the stone:

No. 1279. Robertus Joan Castendijk, born 18 September 1891 in Stad Vollenhove, died 6 January 1952 in Zeist.
Neither shall there be any more pain. Revelation 21:4.

Combining data from the inscription with data found in the Dutch genealogical database Wie Was Wie we get:

Robertus Joan Castendijk, son of Hendrik Hester Constantijn Castendijk and Francoise Wilhelmina Cornelia van den Berg, was born on 18 September 1891 in Stad Vollenhove, and died on 6 January 1952 in Zeist. He married Elisabeth Maria Jansen, daughter of Lodewijk Antoon Jansen and Dorothea Catharina van Rooij, on 19 August 1919 in Utrecht.

Robertus Joan Castendijk died and was buried in Zeist, but (according to his death certificate) he lived in Schiedam at the time of his death. His occupation at the time was vice-principal of a grammar school.
