      Buercky.-On the 22d of November 1894, at Tiskilwa, Ill., of the infirmities of old age, sister Barbara, widow of Bro. Andrew Buercky, aged 86 y., 5 m. She leaves 2 sons, 8 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren and many friends to mourn her death. Her remains were laid to rest on the 24th in the Willow Spring graveyard Indiantown, Bureau Co., Ill. Funeral services by Jac. Ringenberg and Hy. V. Albrecht in German from Phil. 2:21 and Rev. 14:13, and Val. Strubhar of Washington, Ill., in English from 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. J. Buercky.
      —————————————
      Barbara’s maiden name is not verified as Oyer. She was thought to have been an Eyer or Oyer, but this is contradicted by the birth entry of their son Joseph created at Söcking May 29, 1836. It names the father as Andreas Burka and the mother as Barbara Grounis [or something similar], both Anabaptists, residing at No. 2.
