Irvin's family would like to suggest that those wishing to give a memorial in Irvin's memory, may wish to consider memorial contributions to the Bethel United Methodist Church in Manly, or to the Manly Senior Citizens Center. Irvin Henry Benjegerdes was born on March 5, 1918, in Manly, the son of Emil and Martha (Troester) Benjegerdes. He was baptized on January 28, 1923, and reaffirmed the faith of his baptism through confirmation on April 5, 1931, at the St. Paul Evangelical & Reformed Church in Manly. Irvin received his education in the Manly community school, graduating from Manly High School. Irvin was inducted into the United States Army on April 25, 1942, in Ft. Des Moines, and was proud to be an Army nurse during World War II, and served his country honorably and faithfully until his discharge on November 25, 1945, at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. After his honorable discharge, Irvin came back to Manly and began his farming career, farming throughout his life on the family farm 1 ½ miles west of Manly, that his son Harlan now farms. Irvin and Nita moved into Manly in December 1982. He was united in marriage to Nita Mae Hodson on October 24, 1948, at the St. Paul Evangelical & Reformed church in Manly. Irvin enjoyed woodworking, volunteering at the Manly Senior Citizens Center, traveling, driving the Manly Taxi, going on the World War II honor flight with his son Harlan, and helping his son Harlan on the family farm, but his great love and enjoyment was his family and going to his children and grandchildren's school activities. Irvin was a member of the Bethel United Methodist Church in Manly, former church council member, Manly Cemetery committee, Edward Tosel American Legion Post #110 of Manly, Manly Senior Citizens Center, Christian Home Builders, Manly camera club, former member of the Manly Lions Club, and was awarded the Iowa Volunteer Hall of Fame award.
