  • Notes 
    • Obit:
      Rediger. - Magdalena (Birky) Rediger was born at Morton, Ill., Jan. 4, 1853; died at their home in Milford, Nebr., May 28, 1924; aged 71 y. 4 m. 24 d. She was married to Joseph Rediger July 3, 1873. In 1881 they came to Milford and labored faithfully for the lord until she was called to the glory world. Not having any children of their own, their love and sympathy for others was manifested by caring and providing for others, among whom were Mary Teuscher and Barbara Ehrisman. She leaves husband, 2 brothers, and 3 sisters. Two brothers and 2 sisters preceded her in death. At the time of her departure all the remaining brothers and sisters were present. Her death was due to cancer, suffering a year or more. She finally underwent an operation, but nothing could be done to improve her condition. A longing to see Jesus and to meet Him were her wishes.
      "Face to face shall I behold Him
      Far beyond the starry sky;
      Face to face in all His glory
      I shall see Him by and by."

      No children of their own, but reared the two daughters of her brother, Valentine, after the death of their mother in 1891, when Barbara (Ehresman) was 8 and Mary (Teuscher) was 6.
