OBITUARY:
Nellie Berkner’s Fears Come True.
Scott's Mills - Nellie Berkner, known in the Crooked Finger country as "the little old lady of the mountain," didn’t want to go to a Salem hospital early in March because she feared she’d never come back. She was right. Thursday morning she was laid to rest in the IOOF cemetery at Salem, following services at Rigdon’s. She died Monday at a home in Salem.
Mrs. Berkner, 70, lived the life of a recluse on the homestead at Crooked Finger to which she and her husband and children came in 1900 from Utah. Husband and children are deceased. She did not see an automobile until long after an airplane flew over the country home.
