Gerber was owner of The Berne Studio, the only photography studio in Berne for 45 years, from 1912 to 1957.  Bought it, located above the Service Store in downtown Berne, from Earl Shelly. There was a fire due to kerosene heater wiring that only caused smoke damage.  Moved studio to his home on E. Franklin St. in early 1930s when the depression came along.
