 Includes NotesNotes for Mary Esther Berst:
Mary was born in Ote Co., Nebraska where her parents (Frank and Margret Bettendorf Berst) and grandparents (Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Berst) settled after leaving Milwaukee, Wisconsoin in 1882. Frank and Margaret moved near St. Libory around 1891 then bought land in Section 32 Township 16 Range 9 in 1893. Mary worked in St. Paul before her marriage.

All of Fred and Mary's children were born in the house Fred had built. It is now owned by Fred's grandson, Ernest Anderson Jr.

The Naturalication Act of 22 September 1922 evidently required Mary to take out citizenship papers because she was married to an alien. She filed her petition on 6 February 1924 and took her oath of allegience 12 May 1924. Her witnesses were Mary Mohler and Bessie of Moore, both of Cushing Nebraska.

Following childbirth and the loss of a second infant son, Mary died in June 1926.

Mary was Catholic.
