[ 12 July 2013 ]

- can't find a death or funeral notice giving information about her family -- also can't be sure about Ole A Berg's birth or death or if they had any children -- WA digital doesn't list any children born to a father with Berg surname during the years 1922-1934

Children ???

- Seattle Times article, 1 Sept 1948 - Mr and Mrs Ole A Berg announce engagement of daughter June Louise to Gilbert J Martin, Jr from Conrete, Skagit Co; but marriage on 4 Jun 1949 (WA digital)
- did he remarry? - no record on WA Digital
