The Life And Death Of The Berger Family


I have a group of 4 Memorial cards for members of the Berger family so I thought I would see what info was online for this family. The cards are for Joseph Berger 1838 ~ 1912. Minnie M Berger 1845 ~ 1899. Georgie Berger 1893 ~ 1905. Walter C Berger 1899 ~ 1902. I had a look in the 1880 and 1910
United States Federal Census and found them living in Miami, Montgomery, Ohio. Looks like Joseph was a farmer from Germany. Sadly 2 of the cards are for young people. Little Walter Berger was just 3 years old when he died in 1902 and Georgie was only 11.
