It does contain the history of the area and mentions people and contains photographs - There are only two references to Berg surname. On pg 27 There is a photo of the confirmation class at the Eau Pleine Lutheran Church in 1904 with ten boys and one girl, Gunda Berg. On pg 100 The city's best known Madame, Amelia Berg, kept her "houseof ill-fame" just off the Square on the corner of First and Clark, until city prosecutors forced her to move first to the far south side then to the outskirts across the river. 1880 Census Gunder Berg Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1827 SWE Self Elen Berg Gunder Logan, Cache, UT abt 1830 NOR Wife Edward Berg Gunder, Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1860 NOR Son Amelia Berg Gunder, Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1866 NOR Daughter Annie Berg Gunder, Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1857 NOR Daughter Bertrine Berg Gunder, Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1871 NOR Daughter Kernelious Berg Gunder, Elen Logan, Cache, UT abt 1871 NOR Son John Berg Anna Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI abt 1855 NOR Self Anna Berg John Eau Claire, Eau Claire, WI abt 1854 NOR Wife Gunder M.
