CHRISTINE BERGMAN, RICE COUNTY
MRS. CHRISTINE BERGMAN
Northfield News, Friday, April 5, 1929

" Mrs. Christine Bergman, for sixteen years a resident of Northfield, died 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ole Melde, Wednesday evening, March 27, 
following a short illness of pneumonia and complications.  The funeral was 
held in St. John's Lutheran church Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, the 
Rev. L. M. Stavig officiating.  During the service Mrs. Gertrude Boe 
Overby sang "Rock of Ages," "In Heaven Above," and "Abide with Me."  
The pallbearers were John Larson, Jr., J. Jorgen Thompson, Albert 
Olberg and John Rahmann.  Burial was made in the Northfield Cemetery.
Christine Hanson was born in Red Wing February 11, 1876.  She spent her 
girlhood and young womanhood in the Red Wing community and in June, 1894, 
she was married to Ole Noreen.  To this union were born four children.  
Mrs. Ole Melde, Mrs. G. R. Fryer, Mildred Noreen and John Noreen.  
Mr. Noreen died in 1904, and three years later she was married to 
John Bergman of Red Wing.
Two children were born to this union.  Carl and Violet Bergman.  
Since the death of Mr. Bergman several years ago, Mrs. Bergman had 
made her home in Northfield.  
Besides her immediate family, Mrs. Bergman is survived by two sisters, 
Mrs. George Wigdahl of Watertown, S. D., and Mrs. Ida Johnson of Wastedo, 
and two brothers, A. N. Johnson of Haiti, S. D., and Emil Johnson of 
Minneapolis.
Relatives and friends from a distance who attended the funeral were 
Mrs. G. R. Fryer, Seattle, Wash., Miss Mildred Noreen, White Rock; 
Mrs. George Wigdahl, Watertown, S. D.; Emil Hanson, Mrs. Arthur Rahmann 
and son, Mrs. Roy Knaublach and Miss Mildred Johnson, Minneapolis; 
Mrs. Walter Holmes, St. Paul; Peter Noreen, Cambridge; Mr. and 
Mrs. B. C. Peterson, Mrs. Fred Swanson, Mrs. John Benson, Cannon Falls; 
Mrs. Alfred Johnson, White Rock; and Miss Marion Johnson of Wastedo.  
During her residence in Northfield Mrs. Bergman had been a member of
 St. John's church and the many beautiful flowers at the funeral were 
evidence of the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew 
her best."

(ERRORS: Christine and Ole were married 11 Jul 1895, and not June 1894.  
Ole died 16 Jun 1903, and not in 1904.  Emil Johnson should be Emil Hanson.)
