  Notes	Or Nobel. L.N.’s parents were born in Norway. In the 1900 census, he is a boarder, serving as a salesman in a general store, in the town of Sacred Heart in Renville County, MN. Ole Ramsland owns the store (apparently) and is the head of the family with whom he rooms. Received his medical degree from the University of Minnesota in 1906. In the 1910 census, he is listed as Luthard Berg, living at 107 5th Street in Montevideo, Chippewa County, Minnesota. The family is Luthard, 30, Gunhild, 26, and George, 1 year and 6 months. Luthard and Gunhild had been married for 2 years and George was the only child she had had. Registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Montevideo. At that time, he and his family lived at 304 7th Street North in Montevideo. Luthard was described as of medium height and stout build with hazel eyes and dark brown hair. He was a physician/surgeon at 105 1st Street South in Montevideo. In the 1920 census, he is Luthard N. Berg, physician and surgeon, age 39. He and his family live at 114 South 3rd Street in Montevideo. The family was living at 114 South Third Street in Montevideo, MN at the time of the 1930 census. The house they owned was claimed to be valued at $15,000. In the 1940 census, the family lived at 114 Third Street in Montevideo in a house that is worth $16,500. Solveig is 28, has five years of college but is still a student. Five years earlier, Solveig had lived in Minneapolis. Also living with the family was Robert L Brown, “grand-nephew”, age 6, who, five years earlier, had lived in Tracy in Lyon County. Luthard is a medical doctor in private practice. He died of “acute coronary occlusions” at 4:10 PM at his medical office at 105 South First Street in Montevideo and was attended to by Dr. William A. Owens of Montevideo who may have been one of Luthard’s partners in the medical practice. (Another one was apparently his brother-in-law, Ludwig Lima.) His wife was the informant for the information in his death certificate. Her address is shown as 2420 West 24th Street, Minneapolis, which may be her son George’s address. From a history of Chippewa and Lac qui Parle Counties, written in 1916: Dr. Luthard N. Bergh, of the firm of Lima & Bergh, physicians and surgeons at Montevideo, and one of the best-known young physicians in this part of the state, is a native son of Minnesota, born in the neighboring county of Yellow Medicine, September 27, 1880, son of the Rev. O. N. and Tabitha (Edland) Bergh, both natives of Norway, who came to the United States in 1874, settling at Minneapolis, and who are still living in this state, present residents of the village of Climax, where Reverend Bergh is pastor of the Norwegian Luthran (Lutheran) church. Luthard N. Bergh was about three years old when his parents moved from Montevideo in 1883 and the period during which he was a student in the public schools was passed at Audubon, in Becker county, this state, where his father was pastor during that time. Upon completing the common-school course he entered Augsburg Seminary at Minneapolis and was graduated from the collegiate course of that institution in 1902, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He then entered the medical department of the University of Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1906, with the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, and thereafter served for one year as an interne in the City and County Hospital at St. Paul. Thus admirably equipped for the practice of his profession, Doctor Bergh returned to Montevideo and in 1908, upon the return of his brother-in-law, Dr. L. R. Lima, from Europe, where he had been taking a post-graduate course in the University of Vienna, he formed a partnership with Doctor Lima, under the firm name of Lima & Bergh, which has continued since and which has proved very successful, the Doctors having a large practice throughout this section. They also are division surgeons for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company. Doctor Bergh is a member of the Chippewa County Medical Society, the Minnesota State Medical Association and the American Medical Association, in the affairs of which several professional organizations he takes a warm interest. During his college days he was a member of the Alpha Kappa fraternity and of the Thulanian Club of the University of Minnesota. On October 11, 1907, Dr. Luthard N. Bergh was united in marriage to Gunhild Sverdrup, of Minneapolis, and to this union two children have been born, George, born on September 6, 1908, and Solveig, September 7, 1911. Doctor and Mrs. Bergh have a very pleasant home at Montevideo and take a proper interest in the various social and cultural activities of their home town.
