Edward Berge

He studied at the Maryland Institute (currently known as the Maryland Institute College of Art or MICA) and was part of the first class of the Rinehart School of Sculpture, which comprised three boys and four girls.

[2] At 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 12, 1924, Berge suffered a heart attack while working alone in his studio on his latest piece.

At approximately 3:30 p.m., Berge experienced a second heart attack and died alone during the brief period his wife had left to obtain medication.

Although he had received treatment for indigestion in the preceding months, Berge was believed to have been in good health.

Berge mainly worked in marble and bronze and completed many monuments, portrait busts and relief sculptures, many of which are on display outdoors or in public buildings in Baltimore City, including:
