Mrs. A.M. Bernard
Arizona Silver Belt
November 16, 1899

The Arizona Star announces the death of Mrs. A.M. Bernard, which 
occurred Nov. 12 at the home of her son, Hon. N.W. Bernard in 
Tucson.  The senior proprietor of the Sliver Belt has been 
acquainted with the Bernard fmily for many years, esteeming 
them as among his most cherished friends.  He knew the 
progenitor of the family, Joab Bernard, in St. Louis, fifty 
years ago, and the friendship then formed continued to the 
time of his death and during the residence of the family in 
New Mexico and Tucson up to the present time.

We take the following from the obituary notice published in 
the Star of the 14th:  Mrs. A.M. Bernard, who was 84 years of 
age, was the mother of A.C. and N.W. Bernard, Mrs. Aguirre and 
Mrs. Jessie Byrne, all of Tucson. Mrs. Benrard's home was in 
Westport, Mo. where the family who are so well and favorably 
known in Arizona, were born and raised. She has spent several 
winter seasons in Tucson with her sons and daughters and 
although past 80 years she was hale and hearty to within a 
very short time of her death, which was as peaceful as it 
was sudden.

N.W. Bernard and wife and Mrs. Byrne are at Honolulu, where 
they went a short time since for Mrs. Bernard's health.  They 
will be shocked to learn of her sudden death as she was in 
excellent health when they left this city.

It was the desire of Mrs .Bernard to be buried in Missouri in 
the faimly burying grounds near Kansas City.  A.C. Benrard left 
for the old home with the remains this morning.
