Originally published in 1900 |
|
GEORGE A. BERGER was born March 20, 1875, in Hoboken, N. J.,
where he still resides. His father, Charles Berger, came to this country
from Germany in 1862, settling first in New York City and in 1871 in Hoboken,
where he resided until his death March 6, 1899. He was for twenty-five years connected with the North Hudson County Railroad and for a
number of years was with the Erie Railroad. He was a member of various
societies, a popular and influential citizen, and highly esteemed by all who
knew him. He was the son of Johannes Berger, also a native of Germany.
His wife, Alvina M. Teubner, daughter of Christian C. and Johanna Teubner,
still survives.
George A. Berger was educated in the Hoboken public schools and in 1891 was graduated from TV. A. Schell's Commercial School of Hoboken. For a time he followed the real estate and insurance business. Afterward he engaged in banking with the Hudson Trust and Savings Institution, of which he was Assistant Secretary for six and one-half years. At the end of that period he resigned and engaged in the real estate business for himself, but afterward sold out and accepted a position as Cashier of the Trust Company of New Jersey at Hoboken, which he still holds. He is a Director of the Mutual Home and Savings Institution of Hoboken, and has gained a high standing for executive ability, integrity of character, and enterprise. In politics Mr. Berger is independent. He is a member of the Castle Point Cyclers and of the Riverside Club, and actively identified with the affairs of his native city.
