George William Berg, Jr. was born November 8, 1858 to parents George William and Marie Barbara (Hildeman) Berg in Owosso, Macomb County, Michigan. His father had been married before to Mary Hickman, so George had four brothers: John Peter, Louis Gilbert, Paul and Fred, and a sister, Anna Margarett (Maggie) when he arrived. Another brother, David, arrived later.
George fist married Willie Ann Dickensheets (daughter of David C and Harriet Noel(Thacker) Dickensheets, with whom he had a son, Walter Berg. They divorced and George married Grace Amanda Powlison (daughter of Gilbert and Ann Melvina (Bostwick) in 1887 in Traverse City, Michigan. They had four children: Myrtle May, Fred Gilbert Powlison, Clarence Edward and Earl John.
In 1903, George and Grace took their family by train to Yakima, Washington where George, a stonemason, had been hired to do several buildings, including two churches which are still in use today.
In 1908, the family, which now included Myrtle's husband, Norman Preston Anglin and son, Howard Marion, homesteaded in Eastern Washington in a town which came to be known as Hanford, Washington, and was later demolished to provide space for the Manhattan Project during World War II. They started a fruit tree nursery, while Norman and family started a fruit ranch. In 1913, Grace was injured while working with a calf on a rope, and they moved to Portland, Oregon to be closer to medical help for her.
Here is where they stayed until George became very ill, dying in December of 1940.
