LifeSketch
George Berger was the sixth child and fourth son. He was a pupil in the public schools near his father's home and as the years went by he received ample training in the work of the farm, so that he was well qualified to take charge of a farm of his own at the time of his marriage. On the 8th of March, 1882, he wedded Miss Susan Ewald, who was born in Dearborn county, Indiana, where she lived until four years of age, when she was brought to Marshall county by her parents, Jacob and Barbara (Geyer) Ewald. They arrived here in 1864, making the journey by wagon train, and located in German township, where the father bought a farm of eighty acres, which he improved and cultivated. Upon that place he lived for twelve years, and then bought another farm of eighty acres, upon which he resided until he retired from active business life in 1893 and removed to Bremen, Indiana. His political endorsement was given to the Republican party and its principles and he belongs to the Lutheran church.
Mr. and Mrs. Berger were residents of Kosciusko county, Indiana, for three years after their marriage and then took up their abode upon the old family homestead in Marshall county, where they remained for eight years. In 1893 Mr. Berger purchased eighty-one and three-fourths acres of land, constituting his present farm in German township. He has made some of the improvements upon this place and has brought his fields under a high state of cultivation, while everything about the farm is kept in neat condition and indicates his careful supervision and prac- tical methods. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Berger have been born three sons and two daughters : Carson, Pearl, Herman, Lola and Victor. The eldest son is now teaching school in the Philippines. The parents are members of the Evangelical church and are favorably known in this part of the county. Mr. Berger is a Republican, but while in thorough sympathy with the party he does not seek nor desire office, preferring to give his undivided attention to his business affairs, in which he is now meeting with good success.
