Sources
Herman Christiaan van Asselt was born on 4 February 1935 in Vorden. He grew up in a family of bakers and, like several of his brothers, chose the same trade. In Aalten he established his own bakery at Haartsestraat 14.
From a family of bakers
Van Asselt came from the family of baker Peter Gerrit van Asselt in Linde near Vorden. Several sons in the family entered the same trade. A family history of Bakkerij Van Asselt explicitly states that, besides Piet and Gerard, Herman also became a baker and opened a bakery in Aalten.
Van Asselt bakery in Aalten
The Aalten business was located at Haartsestraat 14. Baker Wolter Vaags had previously operated here. A photograph from 1963 already shows Bakkerij Van Asselt at this location; H.C. van Asselt is also listed at this address in the 1967 directory.
The original bakery building was later demolished. A new building was erected on the same site, which now has a different commercial use.
Death
Herman Christiaan van Asselt died on 5 July 2001 in Winterswijk, aged 66. He was buried at Berkenhove Cemetery in Aalten.
