An article from the May 2, 1929, Lowell Tribune was found in the Local History clipping files at the Lowell Public Library (LH--Vital Statistics, vol. 3, page 96):

MRS. P.A. BERG PASSES AWAY VERY SUDDENLY

This community was greatly shocked Monday evening when it was learned that Mrs. P.A. Berg had passed away very suddenly in the Mercy Hospital in Chicago, where she underwent an operation a few days ago. The last report Monday was that she was getting along nicely and the family felt that she would soon be with them again. Word came a few minutes after six o'clock that she had died very suddenly. Funeral service will be held at the St. Edward Catholic church on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, standard time. Obituary next week.

The following May 9, 1929, Lowell Tribune obituary appeared on page 1, column 5:
