Surnames: Berg, Gronseth,
I am looking for the grave of my great grandmother Petra Marie Berg born 18 April 1842 in Brevik Norway. Immigrated to Chicago in 1890.
She died 30 June 1915 while visiting one of her sons in Superior Wisconsin. Her remains were 'removed' to chicago for burial on 1 July 1915. At the time of death she was living in chicago.
in the 1910 census for Cook County she was living with her son Martin T. Berg on Kimball Ave Chicago.
She also had a nephew named Einar Gronseth.
Does anyone have access to obit's, city directories or grave finding. Also of interest is the neighborhood that Kimball ave is located. Is this a Norwegian settlement. Is there a Norwegian Lutheran Church in the area?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thank You
