MRS. ANNA BERG
Mrs. Anna Berg, our mother, the oldest daughter of Jacob and Anna Harder, was born Dec. 28, 1881, near Whitewater, Kans., and was taken to her heavenly home shortly before 9 a.m., Oct. 26, 1954. Following a severe stroke, which paralyzed her, she was taken to the Axtell Christian hospital, after which she lived only a few hours. Mother received her elementary education in the Lone Star community. She also attended a term of Bible School. Later she received catechetical instruction and was baptized upon her confession of faith on Oct. 28, 1900, and became a member of the Emmaus Mennonite church, near Whitewater.
On March 7, 1902, she was united in marriage to Jacob Berg and they established their home on a farm near Whitewater, where she resided until she was called to her better home. For nearly 40 years they shared joys and sorrows of a happy married life.
A glad occassion [sic] was their 25th wedding anniversary in 1927. It was especially hard for her when father passed away in 1940, and her life became more lonely.
We will continue to think of her as one who loved her Lord and her church. She had a continued loving concern for the well being of her family.
She leaves to cherish her memory, three daughters, one son, one daughter-in-law, one son-in-law, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. — The Family.
