Hilmer Berg
Called To
Rest				(From the collection of Vivian Norby Andersen)

	Hilmer Berg, died at the Deering Hospital in Onawa Saturday morning, 
December 1 from heart trouble after several month of illness.  He was taken to 
the hospital late in October after being confined there at different times as 
the spells would hit him.  At times he would improve sufficiently to return to 
his work with the county.
	Hilmer was industrious and steady and was praised by the county as one 
of their best road men, having held that job for the past 25 years.  He was a 
good neighbor and friend and will be missed greatly by his relatives and 
friends.
	Funeral services were held from Soldier Lutheran Church Tuesday 
afternoon, Rev. Hoff in charge.  Burial was in Soldier Valley cemetery in 
charge of Ralph Oldham.
	Hilmer Berg, son of Boleta and Sever Berg, was born in Moorhead, Iowa 
May 6, 1895.
	He was baptized and confirmed in the Norwegian Lutheran Church.
	On July 15, 1915 he was united to Gunda Nordaker.  To this union eight 
children were born, one, Agnes Smith, his oldest daughter, preceding him in 
death.
	They settled on a farm near Soldier and lived there until 1917 when 
they moved to South Dakota where they farmed for four years.  Then they moved 
back to Soldier where they have made their home since.  For the last 25 years 
Mr. Berg has been employed by the county doing road work.
	For the past two years he was afflicted with heart trouble and on 
October 28 was taken seriously ill and taken to the Deering hospital in Onawa 
where he passed away away(sic) early Saturday morning, December 1, 1945.
	Left to mourn his departure are his wife, Gunda, and seven children;  
also seven grandchildren and eight sisters, namely, Mrs. Lewis Melby, Mrs. 
Selma Nordaker, Mrs. Oscar Tanberg and Mrs. John Nordaker of Soldier, Mrs. 
Ellis Kelly of Danbury, Iowa, Mrs. James Roach of Sioux City, Mrs. Aubrey 
Lester of Reliance, South Dakota, and Mrs. David Bergh(sic) of San Francisco, 
Calif., besides a host of relatives and friends.
	Several memorial wreaths were given in memory of Hilmer Berg.
