Bio

Funeral services were held Tuesday for Fred Whiteberg, 56, who died at a LaCrosse hospital Saturday. He was born in Drammen, Norway, September 5, 1881, the son of Johan and Helen (Larson) Whiteberg. His father died about 1884 in Norway. With his mother and siblings (John and Gudrun) they came to America in 1889, living for a time in Minneapolis. For the past 19 years, Mr. Whiteberg had been the proprietor of the Frenchville store. He was united in marriage to Bertine Twinde September 1, 1915. His wife died in September 1935. He is survived by a brother, John Whiteberg of Walker, Minnesota; a sister, Gudrun Oanes of Galesville, a half brother Lewis Thompson of Ettrick, a step daughter 1. Sadie, Mrs. Charles W. Prill of New Lisbon (later Mrs Darwin Hicks) and daughter 2. Helen Jeanette Scarseth (1915-2011) a son, 3. Floyd Bernard (1932-1974) at home and two grandchildren. Services were at the home at 1 p.m. and at 2:00 o'clock at the French Creek Lutheran church, the Rev. Johan Olsen officiating. Burial was made in the French Creek cemetery. THE BLAIR PRESS - JUNE 10, 1937 (Charles) Frederick Louis Whiteberg, son of Helene and Johan Whiteberg, was born at Drammen, Norway, September 5, 1881. His father, a sea captain, was drowned when Frederick was 2 ½ years old. In the spring of 1889 he came to the United States with his mother Helen and brother. After living in Hixton for one year, they moved to French Creek. He was confirmed in the Lutheran faith by the Rev. O. Myhre. He remained in French Creek until the age of 18 when he left for Minnesota and the Dakotas, remaining until 1915. Returning to Minneapolis, he was united in marriage to Bertha Twinde, who preceded him in death two years ago. Remaining in Minneapolis until 1917, the family came to Frenchville and took over the Frenchville store, which has been the Whiteberg home the past 19 years. Two children, Helen Jeanette (Bernard) Scarseth and Floyd Bernard Whiteberg, were born to them and now mourn the passing of their ever-loving parents. Mr. Whiteberg, failing in health for the past two years, passed away June 5, 1937, at a LaCrosse hospital at the age of 55 years and nine months. Those surviving are Helen Jeanette and Floyd B at home; a step-daughter, Sadie, Mrs. Charles W. Prill (later Hicks) of New Lisbon; a sister, Gudrun, Mrs. Ole Oanes of French Creek; two brothers, John Whiteberg of Walker, Minnesota and Lewis Thompson of Ettrick. Mr. Whiteberg's passing leaves a lonesome spot in the hearts of many, especially his children. He was a devoted father, his first consideration always being his family. He was an active church member, a trustee for a number of years, and a willing worker in all church activities. He was also president of the S.A.F. lodge for many years. The funeral was held June 8 at the home and the French Creek Lutheran church, the Rev. Johan Olsen officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Pallbearers were Henry Crogan, Henry Claussen, Emil Benrud, Edwin Schelberg, John Erickson and Benjamin Faulds. Flower girls were Bernice and Lilah Twinde, Lilah Brenengan and Harriett Thompson.
