General Notes: Husband - William Miles Berlin


He grew to manhood under more favorable conditions than his brothers, the country having been settled up, schools estab­lished and the laborious work of clearing new land performed. He attended the public schools, continuing until he was fourteen years of age, when his father died. He remained at home with his mother working the home farm for her until about 1860 when he bought out the other heirs and became sole owner of the homestead, then containing one hundred acres. He built a new house on the premises in which his mother lived until her death. He also remodeled and enlarged the original house, which he occupied with his family. The farm was a rich one and produced oil and gas, and also was underlaid with coal. Three oil wells were producing on the farm, which was otherwise devoted to general farming and stock raising purposes.
He was a strong Republican, served his township for twenty years as overseer of the poor and school director, and retained a lively inter­est in public affairs. He was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church.


General Notes: Wife - Maria Louisa Heasley


When she died, she had been stricken with paralysis three years previous, and for a long time was deprived of her speech.
