Any details available on the Harmen DeVries family while living in Holland, Lancaster, would be appreciated. 
Submitted by Curtis Menning

The first photo is of Harmen (Herman) DeVries who lived in Holland, Lancaster, Nebraska around 1883 - 1886 where his first two children were born. They later moved to Iowa and finally settled in South Dakota during the rush to establish South Dakota as a farming state. He is buried in South Dakota as well as several of his children.

The second photo is of the Harmen (Herman) DeVries family taken later in South Dakota.

Jane Devries b: 2 Sep 1883 Holland, Lancaster, Nebraska (my grandmother)
Everette DeVries b: Feb 1881 Holland, Lancaster, Nebraska - occupation driller
Herman DeVries b: 18 Nov 1886 Holland, Lancaster, Nebraska

Front row:
Harmen DeVries b: 14 Nov 1842 The Netherlands occupation farmer
John DeVries b: Dec 1891 Holland, Lancaster, Nebraska became a farmer
Fennigje Stouwdam b: 10 Jul 1854 Oldebroek, Gelderland, Netherlands

The third photo is of the family of the brother to Harmen DeVries. I am not certain the brother lived in Nebraska but the research on their families is made difficult by the fact that Harmen and his brother were two of triplets. Note the badge and the similar faces on the brothers - but then "we Dutch folks all look alike anyway."
