Notes
Charles Fenske was married to Elva, one of my grandmother's sisters. Grandma was Annette Claire Berg, born May 27, 1892 in Fremont, Clark, Wisconsin, the daughter of C.C. and Amelia Berg. I'm sending along a photo of great-grandma Amelia when she was in her 80's. From right to left: Hattie Berg (Mrs. Arthur Berg), Uncle Charlie, Lottie Berg, Elva (Berg) Fenske, Pearl Berg, unknown male cousin. The photo was probably taken in the late 1930's because Amelia passed away in 1940. Melissa Guensler
