Bequeathes $150,000 Estate for Missions, M. B. Institutions
Reedley, Calif. — Bequests totaling more than $150,000 comprising the bulk of the estate of Mrs. Anna Koehn Bergen, widow of Jacob P. Bergen, have been made to institutions of Mennonite Brethren Churches, it has been announced here.
Mrs. Bergen, who died Oct. 13 of this year, left $8,000 to the M. B. Biblical Seminary and $8,000 to Pacific College, both at Fresno, Calif.
The Bergen residence in Reedley has been bequeathed to the Reedley M. B. Church with the desire that it be used for foreign missions and housing for missionaries who may be visiting here. The balance of the estate located in California, valued at about $110,000 after administration costs have ben deducted, was left to the M. B. General Conference to be used in mission work.
The will also provides that one-half the proceeds from sale of farm property in Oklahoma go to the conference. The property is valued at about $32,000. The other half is to be divided between 14 nieces and nephews.
