Birkey. ---Lena M., daughter of the late Christian and Katherine Oyer, was born in Woodford Co., near Roanoke, Ill., Jan. 29, 1890; passed away at her home south of Manson, Iowa, on April 3, 1950; aged 60 y. 2 m. 5 d. On Jan. 31, 1907, she was united in marriage to John E. Birkey, who survives. Also surviving are 13 children (Edward R., Jolley, Iowa; Simon A., Manson, Iowa; Clarence R., Dewey, Ill.; Elsie-Mrs. Ralph Yoder, Alpha, Minn.; Anna Mae-Mrs. Jay Showalter, La Junta, Colo.; John C., Elmer E., and Samuel C., all of Manson; Alvina, Pearl, Pauline, Jacob and Joseph at home), 14 grandchildren, 2 sisters (Mrs. Levi Birkey, Lowell, Mich.; and Elsie Oyer, Foosland, Ill.), 5 brothers (Jacob, Morton, Ill.; Peter, Congerville, Ill.; Joseph, Samuel, and Manuel, Foosland), and a large number of other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by one daughter (Katherine) and one son (Orville Dale), one grandson, her parents, one brother, and 3 sisters. In her youth she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church of which she remained a faithful member until death. The first six years of her married life were spent on a farm near Manson, Iowa, where she lived until her death. She had been in ill health for a number of years, being bedfast the last three months. Death was caused by a stroke. She was a kind and loving companion and mother always concerned for the spiritual welfare of her family. Funeral services were held at the home and at the Manson Mennonite Church, in charge of Nick Stoltzfus, assisted by John David Zehr. Interment was made in the Rose Hill Cemetery.
