This is a poem that Irene's husband, Glenn Andersenn, wrote in memory of her. Glenn died in 1957 and they are both buried side by side in the Dudley Cemetery, Dudley, Noble County, Ohio. This is also where aunt Mareeda and uncle Ben are both buried.

MEMORIES OF COUSIN IRENE

This is a couple of pages of information that has been handed down in my family that helps us to learn a little about our cousin, Irene Willey Andersenn. I will post it to see if it is readable. If it isn't I will try typing the information in so we can learn a little about her life.

ANNA IRENE WILLEY MEMORIES

This is a picture of my cousin Irene Willey that married Glen Andersenn and died when I was only one year old so I never had an opportunity to get to know her. I do have a few faded pages about her that I find very interesting. I believe Irene and my daughter Kathy would be kindred spirits if they had an opportunity to meet. I will try to see if these items will post in a readable format. The sequence is not going to be in order since I am not yet capable of planning and ordering the story line.

GRANDPA AND RENE

GRANDPA AND GREAT-GRANDSON (RENE) - I like this picture of Grandpa because he looks so happy in it. Rene was born on 5 Dec 1927 and Grandpa died 15 May 1936 when he was 82 years old. Rolen Rene Radcliff was the grandson of Grandpa's oldest child, Mareeda. Rene's mother, Irene, was Mareeda's oldest child. Mareeda married Benjamin Willey. Their first child, Anna Irene, was born on 6 Aug 1906. Irene married Glenn Andersenn when she was 18 years old. She was 21 when Rene was born. She died from uremic poison on 15 Dec 1927 when Rene was only 10 days old. He was adopted by Frank and Grace Radcliff and they were kind and loving foster parents to him. Rene died on 5 Mar 2001.

This picture of my grandfather, Jacob Andrew Boney, was taken when he was seventy-five years old. He was the son of John Boney and Julia Hipsley.
