Biographical Sketch of Theodore Bergner, Gasconade County, Missouri >From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888. ********************************************************************** Theodore Bergner, book keeper at the brewery and malt house of Hugo Kropp, and a citizen of official prominence in Hermann, is a native of that place, born in 1850. Gottlob and Christine Bergner, his parents, came originally from Germany, immigrating to the United States in about 1843, and locating first in Hermann, from which place they subsequently removed to a farm about four miles from town; they afterward returned, however, and now reside in Hermann. Theodore early familiarized him- self with farm experience, and when not occupied about the home place attended the country schools; in 1869 he taught a six months' country school, and in 1870 he removed to Hermann and assumed the duties of the position as deputy sheriff and collector of the county. In 1874 he was elected sheriff on the Republican ticket, and was re-elected in 1876, 1878 and 1882; such a career needs no additional words of comment. In July, 1887, he entered the brewery as book keeper, and has since re- mained occupied in this position. In 1873 Mr. Berger was married to Mrs. Charlotta Wickers, and to this union four children have been born. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
