     Anton Berg History of Summit Co OH, p 680:

"ANTON BERG, lock and gunsmith, Akron: is a native of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. He was born Feb. 14, 1820. His father, Christina, was a farmer, and Anton assisted in work on the farm until he reached his 16th year, when he was apprenticed in the city of Worms, on the Rhine, to the locksmith business. After serving three years, he worked as a journeyman for a year, when he was drafted into the army. He served twenty-one months in active military service, but during the remainder of his six years' term of service, he worked at his trade. A part of the time he was employed at the arsenal, manufacturing friction cannon caps, the inventor of which was his commanding officer, Capt. Hartman. After serving his full term of service, and being discharged, he began preparations for emigrating to America. He manufactured the tools he needed for his trade, and on June 9, 1847, he started for the new country, landing in New York in the following August. He left immediately for Buffalo, where he met friends and got work at his trade, being employed by Mr Ketchum, an inventor of a reaping and mowing machine. Mr. Berg made the first knife bar for machines, a business that has since grown to large proportions. In the spring of 1848, he came to Cleveland, Ohio, where he had relatives, and worked at his trade until 1849. On June 16 that year, he walked to Akron, and found work on stove mounting, which he followed five years. Sept. 6, 1854, he returned to his old business, manufacturing and repairing guns, etc., which he still continues. Mr. Berg is a Republican in politics, beginning as a strong anti-slavery man. He was a personal friend of John Brown, and when the latter went to Kansas, Mr. Berg repaired his arms free, working nights in order to escape the detection of hostile parties. Dec. 17, 1849, he married Miss August Capella, a native of Germany, who had that year come from her native land, and came to Akron the same day he did, though not formerly acquainted. Four children have resulted from this marriage, three of whom are living: Sarah, now Mrs. William Durand; Edward, grain dealer in McPherson, Kan; and Libbie, a teacher in the South School, in Akron, Ohio; Hermann died in infancy." Anton was born at Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany, on 14 February 1820.² He married Augusta Capella at Akron, Summit, Ohio, USA, on 17 December 1849.³
