  [S2] Reading Eagle (Reliability: 3), 24 Jan 1907. Strausstown Sudden Death of Emanuel Berger. Jan. 24. - Emanuel Berger died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock from heart failure, aged 70 years, 11 months and 23 days. He suffered with diabetes for five years, but was up and about until a short time before death. About one week ago he contracted a heavy cold which weakened him and superinduced heart failure. His condition was not considered serious until Wednesday afternoon when Dr. O. B. Herbein was summoned, but the patient had passed away before the doctor's arrival. Deceased is survived by his widow, Christina (nee Sunday) and the following children: George and Benjamin, of Upper Tulpehocken; Kate, wife of J. B. Rutter, of Pottsville; Henry and Amos, of Bernville, and Sallie, wife of Samuel Feick, of Shartlesville. Deceased was a member of Zion's Reformed Church, of Strausstown, a life-long Democrat, and a highly respected citizen. (Reading Eagle, 1/24/1907) [S150] Berks Biographies, (Biographical Pub. Company, 1898). Emanuel Berger retired on his farm of 152 acres, located in Upper Tulpehocken Township, the same house in which he was born. He received his education in the common schools of his native township. In 1859 he went West and located in McLean County, IL, where he engaged in the cultivation of the soil until 1862, at which time he returned to the Berger homestead in Berks County. In politics he was a staunch Democrat and served as judge of elections, school director and several minor township offices. In religious views he was an active member of the Reformed Church; his wife was a member of the Lutheran Church. [S401] Klaus Stopp, vol. III, p. 67. from tauf schein in private collection (R.) - I don't see an explanation of what (R.) refers to. [S152] der Adler, 12 Oct 1858.
