Odin A. Berget was born June 13, 1925, the son of George and Stella (Faleide) Berget near Madock, North Dakota.

As a young man he farmed with his father and for other area farmers before purchasing his own land. At the age of 21, Odin contracted polio which left him with some disability.

When Odin was younger, he provided much of his parents care when they needed it, drove his mother wherever she needed to go and in later years had his father live with him in Moorhead. After Odin moved back to Ulen, he could be seen driving his cart around the city of Ulen checking on anything that needed checked on.
