CARL F. BERG (1906) is the manager of Bingham Brothers' grain elevator at Minneota. He is a native of Yellow Medicine county, was born on his father's farm February 2, 1887, and there grew to manhood. His father, P. M. Berg, was an early settler of Yellow Medicine county and is now a merchant of Minneota. Carl located in Minneota in 1906, worked a few years in his father's store, and then ran a dray line one year. He then returned to his parents' old farm and conducted that one year. In March, 1911, he entered the employ of Bingham Brothers and has since bought grain and managed the elevator for that firm.
Carl F. Berg was married at Canby, Minnesota, August 7, 1908, to Sarah Josephson, a resident of Minneota and a daughter of Asbjorn Josephson. Two children have blessed their union — Henry and a baby girl.
