ROBERT BERG. - It is gratifying to those who take an interest in Hall County, that the old pioneer names may still be found in connection with the lands secured through much hardship by the original owners. An example is found in Robert Berg, one of the successful farmers here, who has always lived on the homestead and has continued the industries his father followed for many years.
    Robert Berg was born in Boone County, Nebraska, in 1884 and accompanied his parents to Hall County in his childhood. They were Olaf and Louise Berg. The father was a native of Sweden and the mother of Norway, who came to the United States in the fifties and were early settlers in Hall County. They had two children, Robert and Lawrence. Olaf Berg was a man of industry and good business judgement. His first purchase of land in Hall County was fifty-six acres, which strained his resources at that time, but before he died he owned two hundred and sixteen acres, all secured through his own efforts.
    Rober Berg obtained his education in the Hall County school. He and his brother are partners in operating the old home farm. He belongs to the order of Modern Woodmen.
