THURSDAY
Longtime Hammond, Oregon, resident,
Ferne M. Berg passed peacefully a few days
prior to her 98th birthday on Sept. 3, 2016 at her
daughter’s home in Newberg, Oregon.
Mrs. Berg was born Sept. 12, 1918, in Whit-
ney, Nebraska, in a three-room house. She
was the second of six children born to Lewis
Guy and Delia Aleta (Mobley) Mershon. She
attended school in Crawford, Nebraska, in a
one-room school house, completing grades one
through 12.
Mrs. Berg was a career business woman.
She began working as a legal secretary, then
as a court reporter, then for the Flour, Feed and
Cereal Employees Association, where she nego-
tiated labor agreements. During that employ-
ment she met Kenneth S. Berg, offi ce manager
of Pillsbury Mills in Astoria. They married Feb.
5, 1949, in Astoria. Kenneth later became part
owner and manager of Pacifi c Shrimp Inc. of
Warrenton.
After her marriage, she and Kenneth lived
in Hammond. Mrs. Berg was employed by the
Warrenton U.S. Bank, (where she was the fi rst
woman teller at that branch), then as secretary
at Warrenton Grade School. In 1963, Ferne was
hired as secretary to Eben Carruthers at E.H.
Carruthers Co. in Warrenton. Upon the retire-
ment of Mr. Carruthers, she was promoted to
president of the company, and served in that
capacity until her retirement in 1968.
Ferne and Kenneth had three daughters:
Kathleen, who died prematurely, Andrea and
Maridel. Kenneth passed away March 4, 1995.
Mrs. Berg was an avid reader. She enjoyed
grammar and words. Because of her knowledge
of language, she accepted the task of proof-
reading for The Herald Magazine, and also
for authors who wrote articles for her religious
organization. This she did joyfully after her
retirement, and on into her 90s, until her eye-
sight became limited.
LONG BEACH, Wash.
— Bad news keeps get-
ting worse when it comes
to a quick end to the marine
toxin bloom that has indefi -
nitely delayed start of razor
clam season on the s outhwest
Washington coast.
Test results released Fri-
day by the Oregon Depart-
ment of Agriculture found
the toxin domoic acid wide-
spread in shellfi sh on the
Oregon C oast. The state has
closed the entire Oregon
C oast to shellfi sh harvesting.
This means the algal
bloom responsible for pro-
ducing the toxin is wide-
spread and not a localized
outbreak that might swiftly
dissipate.
The recreational harvest of
bay clams and crab remains
open on the Oregon Coast.
According to the state,
commercial shellfi sh prod-
ucts remain safe for consum-
ers because samples show no
biotoxins.
