Ruth Herberg was born about 1900 to a Norwegian immigrant family. She had one older brother, Signor. She was related to Anna Fritzvold Herberg, who came to Seattle via Tacoma in 1887 or 1888 over the Northern Pacific “Switchback” before the Cascade Tunnel was built. Around 1894, Ruth's family moved to Happy Valley, Washington from Seattle. In 1904, they moved back to Seattle. Ruth and her mother took a trip to Norway to visit relatives in 1910-1911. Ruth lived in Seattle for the rest of her life and worked as a secretary. Note: It is possible that Anna Fritzvold Herberg and Anne Herberg were the same person, and that this woman was Ruth Herberg’s mother.
