Hi Listers.. An index to the biographies in the History of Barron County, 1922, and those previously submitted are available at the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wi/barron/bios.htm Anton Berg was born in Norway and came to America in the early forties. He lived for many years in Iowa and then came to Barron County. When he and his wife arrived here the lumbering industry was still flourishing and Mrs. Berg was the first white woman to cook in a lumber camp, where the City of Barron is now located. In all, Mr. Berg worked in the woods for seventeen years. In the early seventies he took a homestead of one hundred sixty acres in Section 20, to which he later added forty more acres, making a fine place of two hundred acres. Of this he cleared one hundred acres, erected all the buildings himself, and carried on general farming until 1911. Then he retired and moved to the village of Hillsdale. He died November 19, 1918, surviving his wife by three days. In the family there were five children: Maggie, Anna, Helen, Edward and Fred. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
