Hi Linda I found the following information in the Pioneer Heritage Library section of the LDS Family History Suite CD. It looks like the Alonzo D. Rhodes that you are looking for. There may also be more information about him or other family members. If you have a pedigree or family group sheets or general information for any family member send it to me and I will do more searches in this CD for more information. Also in reference to the BERG family if they came to Utah in 1874 the most likely came by train. In addition I may be able to send a printout of the picture or even send the picture file to you via email. I would need to do some research to find out how to send it via email. Hope this helps Ron Perkes Bountiful, Utah rdp@utah-inter.net Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, p.1127 RHODES, ALONZO D. (son of Erie Rhodes and Eunice Wright).
