HENRY BERG (deceased) was born March 1, 1832, in Wurtemberg, Germany, and was son of Ernst and Fredericka (Fiesinger) Berg, natives of Germany. He came to America in 1852, his parents coming over and settling in Meadville two years later. Mr. Berg had one brother, Charles, and one sister, Phoebe (now Mrs. Grettler). He was married June 7, 1856, to Fredericka, daughter of Jacob and Catharine (Kahler) Young, who was the third of four children in her father’s family, viz.: Jacob, Caroline, Fredericka and Phoebe. Jacob left his father’s home in 1850, and nothing has been since heard of him. Our subject formerly owned the large tannery in Kerrtown. His father died March 9, 1884, aged eighty years. Our subject passed away June 17, 1877, leaving two daughters, Emilie and Mathilde, now at home with their mother, and occupy the house left by their father in Kerrtown. The family were brought up in the Lutheran Church.
