      BIRKEY - On the 29th of Oct. 1893, near Lund, Decatur Co., Kansas, of consumption, Lena, maiden name Zimmer, wife of Bish. John C. Birkey, aged 40 years and 20 days. She complained little of pain and was very patient to the end. Her husband and eight children survive her; 4 sons and 4 daughters. Three have preceded her. She was universally loved and respected and was a faithful follower of our Lord, in our denomination. We mourn not as those who have no hope, for we have a living hope that she is with Jesus. When she saw that death was near she said God be praised, the hour has come. She was buried on the 31st at the Martin M.H. at which time the largest funeral assembled that was ever in that meeting-house. Funeral services by Jacob Roth and Joseph Schlegel of Colorado. Text, 1 Cor. 15:445.
      "We miss thee from our home, dear mother,
      We miss thee from thy place,
      A shadow o'er our life is cast
      We miss the sunshine of thy face."
