Archive containing 26 official documents, printed and filled-out in pen or typescript, dated 1908-1952.

Includes original employment contracts 1908-1909, his honourable discharge in 1914, pension etc. Groenevelt was discharged as tram driver after having accidentally run into a boy on 1 April 1911, after which he developed nervous disorders and problems with one of his legs.
