Knut Berg, 81, retired Town of Liberty farmer, died Monday night at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Roland Wendling in Valders, with whom he had resided since disposing of his farm in 1950.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at the West Valders Evangelical Lutheran Church. The Rev. A.B. Holland will officiate and burial will be in the church cemetery.
