I'll quote you here, Texas Ray:
""In the case of the COG. The listed copyright holder no longer exists. It is possible that the rights were sold or transferred to another entity before the dissolution of the COG. In that case there is a danger of copyright infringement.""
No danger. David b. Berg died under an assumed name without a legal will. No rights were sold or transferred to another entitiy.
""However if such a transfer were not made then, the material became public domain at the moment the COG was dissolved. No one can now pretend to hold that copyright unless such a transfer occurred before the dissolution of the COG. No new copyrights can be filed after the author's death. ""
This is indeed the situation. Thanks for your input Texas Ray. You nailed it.
