Anna D. Bergner dies, was biologist
Private graveside services will be held Thursday for Anna Dorothy Bergner, a retired research biologist.
Dr. Bergner, who was 85, and lived at the Stella Maria Hospice for the last five years of her life died early yesterday after a stroke.
Born in Baltimore, Dr. Bergner was a graduate of Eastern High School and received her bachelors degree from Goucher College in 19??). She received her Masters and doctoral degrees from Columbia University in 1927 and 1928 respectively.
