4 Dutch colonial officials in Netherlands Indies are listed with their pensions in 1868. Dick Bleiswijk Ris was born on 18 February 1813 and served as town mayor in Weltevreden. Pieter van Blogg, born 21 October 1818, worked as a military clerk and temporary assistant bookkeeper at the state medicine warehouse. Hermann, born 16 August 1818, was the Resident (governor) of Bagelen. Pieter Jacobus Seulé, born 15 August 1813, was Director of the Navy and Steam Services Factory in Soerabaija. Their pensions were approved between May and December 1867 and payments began on 1 June 1868.

On July 5, 1548, H. Blogg, a retired government official, wrote a letter from Rotterdam to the Secretary General at the Ministry of Colonies in The Hague. He had previously submitted a request on June 15 regarding his pension payments that were due since December 1 of the previous year. Due to financial difficulties, he was unable to leave the house where he was staying. He requested either:

• immediate payment of his outstanding pension
• or an advance payment of 400 guilders

The letter writer explained that receiving either would help resolve his severe financial troubles.

• Theodoor Joseph Maria Schade, a 37-year-old commercial agent from Groningen, married Anna Groot, a 32-year-old woman from Nieuwer-Amstel. The witnesses were the bride's father Hermanus Groot, a 65-year-old shipwright, and her brother Reindert Groot, a 38-year-old office worker.
• John Hermann Monaco Blogg, a 21-year-old second lieutenant in the Dutch East Indies army from Buitenzorg, married Janne Martine Jily Menko, an 18-year-old woman from Amsterdam. The witnesses were Carel Heilbron, the bride's 78-year-old grandfather, and Willem Paul Frederik Lodewijk Winckel, a 33-year-old controller from The Hague.
• Herrmann Wolf Cahen, a 36-year-old merchant from Leiden living in Breda, married Jeannette Susanne de Vries, a 27-year-old woman from Hoorn. The witnesses were the groom's brother Iscar Cahen, a 42-year-old doctor from Dordrecht, and the bride's brother Simon Izak de Vries, a 24-year-old merchant.

In 1715, multiple people received decorations and medals in Dutch East Indies. Among those who received Silver Medals were L. H. Schreiner, N. L. Blogg, and J. C. Keyser.

The Bronze Medal of the Order of Nassau was awarded to several local inhabitants, including Ketjil, Marmo, Reboe, and Balei. Notable Dutch recipients included D. J. Haarman, J. Marlier, and L. P. Alphono.

Some recipients, such as Mentotaroeno, Sardjan, and Mertodikromo, were recorded without registration fees. Military officials like B. van Steenbergen, C. Schuuerman, and J. Alexander were also among the decorated.

• His regular military salary
• An additional payment of 480 per year starting from November 1, 1894

• Blogg would travel as a first-class passenger
• The cost was 650 guilders for freight and meals
• Payment would be made in the Dutch East Indies to either their agents or the ship's captain

On June 19, 1945, four marriages were recorded at the civil registry in Amsterdam:

• Edgar David Blogg, a 33-year-old fashion designer from Charlottenburg, Germany, married Bontje van der Veer, a 24-year-old woman from Leeuwarden. His parents were Bernhard Bloog, a merchant, and Johanna Moses, both living in Theresienstadt, Czechoslovakia. Her parents were Jacob Petrus van der Veer, a 61-year-old warehouse worker, and Gooitske Busman, age 50. This marriage was later dissolved on November 10, 1947.

His father Hendrik Cornelis Hollenbach was deceased, and his mother was Medina Margina Warta, age 53, from The Hague. Her parents were Wilhelm Frederik Hennink, a 58-year-old infantry lieutenant colonel, and Gordina Maria Adriana Bartels, age 50.
• Louis Boas, a 23-year-old trade agent from Amsterdam, married Debora Kolm, a 23-year-old artist also from Amsterdam. His parents were Jacob Boas, a 47-year-old diamond cutter, and Johanna van den Hooff, age 49. Her parents, Mozes Kolm and Schoontje Lap, were listed as whereabouts unknown. This marriage was later dissolved on June 9, 1947.

In March 21, 1885, a letter was sent concerning M. Blogg, a third-class military official from the East Indies. Blogg, who had last worked as a dispatcher at the Artillery Head Office in Batavia, was on leave in Europe. He had written from Hannover on February 1, 1885, requesting permission to return to the Dutch East Indies.

Following correspondence with officials in Dordrecht on February 16, 1885, and referring to records from October 1, 1864, the authorities approved his return. Arrangements were made with the Blurse Brothers shipping company in Dordrecht for his transport to Batavia on the ship "Kosmopoliet."

Blogg's urgent return was prompted by news from Officer J.H. James in Semarang (Java) that his father-in-law, Hospital Master D.J. Fricke, had passed away on November 24. Blogg needed to return to Java to look after the interests of his underage daughter. He requested to return by the end of March of that year.

A list of military personnel recruited in the Netherlands for service in 1862 shows several officers and men who joined the Dutch East Indies army. Among them were Dirk Hook, Jacobus Dicksen, Gears Baptist Narel Schaesser, Frans Adolpe Cornelis Gros, Eduard Gistaaf Schultze, Louis Nort, Wendrik Adolph Frederik Pasolt, Wilhelmus Jacobus van Braake, Willem Wendriff Johannes van Beinum, Josephus Blogg, and Odernardis Gustaaf Wagenaur.

These men were stationed in various locations including Toerabaija, Padang, Samarang, Ternate, Muntok, and Magelang. The document was signed in Batavia on March 31, 1863 by the Chief of General Staff, Augivantispermont.

On March 11, 1564, at military headquarters in Batavia, military clerk H.G. Blogg requested 2 years of leave to go to Netherlands. He had served continuously in the Dutch Indies for 15 years.

Blogg earned 1600 guilders per year. Based on regulations from January 5, 1634, he was entitled to leave pay of 810 guilders per year. The Lieutenant General approved his request.

On May 11, Blogg boarded the ship "Dordrecht" in Batavia. He arrived in Brouwershaven on September 1. He planned to live in Hannover afterwards.

His leave pay would be paid monthly, divided into 64 payments.

On December 3, 1881 in 's Gravenhage, a decision was made about receiving military salary and pension at the same time. The Governor General of Dutch East Indies had approved on October 6, 1891 that adjutant quartermaster officer N. L. Blogg could receive both his regular salary and a pension of 480 guilders per year starting from September 1, 1891. This pension would be paid to his wife and children. This arrangement was made under Article 57 of the pension regulations established by Royal Decree on August 24, 1875.

This is a list of military and police personnel at the Samarang Central Prison for Europeans. The document appears to be from a personnel roster, listing various non-commissioned officers (NCOs) including:

• L. N. H. Schieinen, P. Bonnard, and N. L. Blogg serving as adjutant NCOs
• H. Kemper, J. Heero, and J. C. Keyser working as armed police instructors
• L. Bochem and J. H. Strengnaerts serving as clerks
• F. D. Sauter working as a civilian clerk
• H. H. M. den Reigersberg, N. J. Visser, A. van Daalen, and E. C. W. de Mol serving as armed police instructors

Many of these officers were awarded the Silver Medal of Honor (O.M.). The document indicates that some of these positions were temporary appointments.

The document discusses pension payments for the deceased East Indies civil servant Herman Blogg, who died in Ubbergen on July 11, 1675. The pension amount was 704 guilders per year, and payment was due for the third quarter of 1675. The paymaster in The Hague asks whether the necessary documents and legalizations, along with a receipt from the heirs' representative, would be sufficient for the pension payment to proceed. The document is dated March 17, 1876 from Arnhem.

• The payment requires legal documents to be certified by the Department of Colonies
• A legalization fee of 190 must be paid by the beneficiaries
• The declaration of inheritance rights needs to be verified as equivalent to a locally produced document

On February 12, 1869, Minister of Colonies proposed a draft resolution concerning the pension increase of former military official H. Blogg in Dutch Indies. The pension was increased by 102 guilders per year, effective from December 1867. According to the law of April 23, 1864, the payment for December 1867 had to be charged to the current fiscal year's budget.

King Willem III approved this resolution, referring to the law of April 23, 1861 and the royal decree of December 4, 1860. The amount of 8.50 guilders was to be paid from Article 18 of the budget for Dutch Indies for 1869. The final pension was set at 714 guilders per year, increased from the previous 612 guilders.

• Total budget for Article 18: 100,000 guilders
• Already allocated: 250 guilders
• Remaining: 99,750 guilders
• New allocation: 8.50 guilders

On May 14, 1876 in Rotterdam, a request was sent to the Minister of Colonies. Mavelad I, a civil engineer living in Rotterdam, explained that by Royal Decree of February 17, 1893, he had been assigned to work with S. L. Cluysenaer, an engineer in charge of railway operations in Sumatra. Following a decision by the Governor-General of the Dutch Indies in Batavia on December 27, he completed his tasks and returned to the Netherlands, where he sought to work again as an engineer on the Dutch railways.

After the above-mentioned decree, he requested the Governor-General of the Dutch Indies to be placed as an engineer with the railways in Java. This request could not be granted due to a staff shortage. Just before departing for the Netherlands, he learned he could be placed as an engineer with the railways. He therefore requests His Excellency to grant his wish to be employed as an engineer with the railways in the Dutch Indies.

In Nymegen on July 4, 1875, Herman Blogg passed away. His heirs were Nicolaas Blogg, Josephus Blogg, Achilda Johanna Blogg, and Hendrik Vroeke. They were entitled to receive pension payments for July, August, and September 1875. The total amount was 113 guilders and 75 cents. According to a letter to the treasurer in Arnhem from April 8, 1875, it appears no advance payments were made on the pension. The document was filed in Rotterdam on May 14, 1876.

• From 1 January to 31 December 1867
• From 1 January to 31 December 1868

• An Indian decree from 9 November 1846 (No. 14)
• Colonial Department letters from 14 May 1862 and 26 March 1863
• A law from 28 August 1851 (Netherlands State Gazette No. 127) regarding military naval pensions

On December 1, 1867, Herman Blogg, born on August 6, 1818, received a pension after serving in Dutch East Indies. He had worked there for 28 years. His pension was increased by 102 guilders per year, bringing the total to 814 guilders annually. Between May 9, 1864 and June 20, 1865, Blogg spent time in Netherlands on leave after serving more than 15 years in the Dutch East Indies. This leave period did not count towards his service time. For the first six years of his pension, starting from December 1, 1867, a deduction of 28.5 cents would be made annually to settle a sum of 685.66 guilders. Blogg was living in Rotterdam at the time this decision was made.

On January 22, 1668, a document discussed the case of military officer H. Blogg in Dutch East Indies. On November 17, 1867, he was honorably discharged from his position at the state medical supplies warehouse upon his own request.

According to pension regulations for civil servants in the Dutch East Indies (State Gazette 1837), Blogg's service record showed:

• First period: October 1, 1861 to May 8, 1864 (when his active duty salary ended)
• Second period: June 21, 1865 to November 30, 1867

His total service amounted to 28 years and 16 days, according to Article 6 of the civil pension regulations. The documents reference several related administrative decisions from 1862 through 1868.

On November 13, 1897, Jan Hubert Peron, a clerk at the registry office in Sittard, acting on behalf of notary Renderts from Susteren, announced a public sale. The sale was scheduled for November 19, 1897 at the request of the Peeters brothers.

On November 19, 1897 at 11 AM, at the request of farmers Willem Peeters, Herman Pieters, and Jan Hubert Peeters from Susteren, notary Louis Philip Hendrik Pienaerts from Susteren conducted a public sale of trees known as "Kamer" in Susteren.
