      Burkey - Emil A., son of Valentine and Magdalena (Saltzman) Burkey, was born in Roanoke, Ill., Aug. 27, 1880; passed away at his home in Lebanon, Oreg., March 9, 1950; aged 69 y. 6 m. 22 d. He accepted Christ as his Saviour in his youth, and united with the Mennonite Church. He was a faithful member, attending church whenever possible, and being willing and ready to help whenever he could. 

      He moved with his parents to Nebraska. Aug. 24, 1903, he was married to Lena Stutzman. To this union were born 8 children (William and Harry, Shedd, Oreg.; Edith Stauffer, Lebanon, Oreg.; Barbara Zimmerman, Milford, Nebr.; Hazel Burkey, Lebanon; Mabel Birky, Sweet Home, Oreg.; Norma Carrels, La Crosse, Wis.; and Ruby Glendenning, of Lebanon.). 

      In 1919 he moved to Colorado, and in 1948 to Oregon, where he spent the remainder of his life. His parents preceded him in death. 

      He leaves his wife, 8 children, 22 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, 3 sisters and one brother (Barbara Ehrisman and Mary Teuscher, Milford, Nebr.; Katie Spencer, Normal, Ill.; Joe E. Burkey, Bloomington, Ill.), one stepbrother (John Schrock, Normal, Ill.), one stepsister (Kate Man), and many other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at the Fairview Mennonite Church in charge of N. M. Birky, with Jesse J. Short preaching the sermon. [4]
