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.
