Biography

Gerrit, op 14 november 1882 in Vrijenban geboren. Hij was de derde zoon in een gezin van zeven kinderen. Sonneveld was een geslacht van boeren, maar Gerrit werd timmerman. Toen hij geld genoeg had, verliet hij de ouderlijke boerderij en ging naar Utrecht, alwaar al familie van hem woonde. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk trouwde hij voor die tijd (burgerlijk huwelijk) op 2 oktober 1907 met Geertruida van den Berg, een meisje geboren op 1 januari 1883 in Bergschenhoek (een dorp vlakbij Pijnacker), zodat ze samen naar Utrecht konden gaan. Hoewel Gerrit eerst timmerman was, werd hij later kruidenier in de Jan Pieterszoon Coenstraat 84. Na hard werken slaagde hij erin het pand van de huisbaas te kopen, zodat hij boven de winkel zijn gezin kon huisvesten. Gerrit en Geertruida kregen zes kinderen, Catharina Helena in 1908, Neeltje in 1909 en Leendert in 1913. Op 28 juni 1917 werd Willem geboren in de kamer achter de kruidenierswinkel. Hierna kreeg Geertruida in 1919 nog een tweeling Jan en Johan. Na een bedlegerige periode stierf ze op 26 september 1922. Ze was pas 38 jaar oud.
