was devoted and active member Of
the Swedish Bethel church, in which
he at all times was most interested.
He was one of the early pioneers who
located in his neighborhood and had
to meet all the privations and hard
ships of the early settlers. which he
did with energy and determination.
successfully overcoming all difficult
ties. He was model man. with
firm and true character and at all
times one who could be depended up
on. His word was just as good as
gold-a citizen who at all times could
be found using his influence where 1t
counted for what was true and right
and to the promotion of all projects
for the betterment of his fellow men
and the community. AS a kind father.

on, the neighborhood and locality will
long, remember GRANDPA Berg, and t.

In it, and made poorer because he
has now left It.
Last December on the 14th day. Mr..
Berg and wife celebrated their gol.

with a large number Of their relatives
and friends, and the event will long
be remembered.
The funeral took place last Thurs
day afternoon from the Bethel church,
conducted by his pastor, Rev. G. Glad.
and was attended by very large num-
Der of friends and neighbors, who
gathered to pay their last respects to
Mr.. Berg. Six of his grandsons were
the pail bearers. His remains were
laid to rest in the Bethel cemetery.
Just after his body was lowered into
the grave, his long time friend. N.
Lindblad, who will soon pass his one
birthday, requested to be
permitted to sing song, which he did
in a most impressive way. Thus a.
again we have hidden adieu to another
respected pioneer.

MANUSH QUITS BASEBALL.
Popular Player and Manager Decides
He Has Had Enough.

Marshalltown fans will never again
hear the familiar war whoop or wit
ness the well-known antics Of George
Manush. player and manager in the
Central Association during the past
from Burlington, Manush has quit
baseball and is going to stick to his
trade of plumbing.
George. who halls originally from the
south, has done considerable in the six
or seven years he has played baseball
in Iowa, if the stories circulated in
Burlington are true. In 1907, when he
broke into the Central association, he
led the league in Stolen bases. In 1909
he tried his luck with the Three-I and
led the league in hitting and was sec
ond in base running. With OttrmWa
few years later he is said to have hit
$40 and broken up many games with
long drives.
lManush's first managerial venture
was with keokuk in 1911, when he
landed the river team in third place.
Later he was with Burlington, where
he started in strong, but did not do 50
well later in the season. His expert
ences with Clinton last year were
rather disastrous, and when he was
released by that team this winter he
decided to quit. He married a Burling-
ton girl, and has now gone into the
plumbing business with a partner, and
expects to keep at his trade tweIve
months in the year.
