Bernard, Mary E.  (Mrs. H. R. Bernard) 

MRS. H. R. BERNARD
  BURIED YESTERDAY
	________
(From Tuesday’s Banner.) 

Yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, from the First Baptist church, of which she 
had long been a loyal and useful member, the funeral of Mrs. Mary E. Bernard, 
wife of Rev. Dr. H. R. Bernard, was conducted by Rev. J. W. Lynch, D. D. and 
Rev. John D. Mell, D. D.  The services were specially appropriate and 
impressive – in tribute to the beautiful, long, helpful life ended Sunday 
morning at the home, 165 Waddell street. 

The burial was in Oconee cemetery, where may friends followed the casket to 
the quiet resting place of the dead and piled flowers of loving remembrance, 
emblems of immortality, upon the freshly-made mound. 

Mrs. Bernard was before her marriage Miss Mary Weatherly – member of one of 
the most prominent families of this city and section and besides her immediate 
family leaves a number of close relatives.  Her husband survives her – but has 
been confined to his bed for several weeks in an Atlanta sanitarium with 
fever – being in a critical condition and unable to bear the news of the death 
of his wife.  He has been prominent in Athens life – being in business here, 
then school commissioner for some years, and a Baptist preacher of power and 
much usefulness.  He is now – and has been for years, assistant secretary of 
the Baptist mission board, having had most of the work of that office upon his 
shoulders for several years.

Mrs. Bernad leaves three  children:  Miss Annie Bernard and Mr. Hugh Y. 
Bernard of this city and Dr. Guy T. Bernard, of Augusta. 

The pall-bearers were deacons of the First Baptist church:  Messrs. M. M. 
Arnold, C. M. Snelling, W. H. Kytle, E. H. Dorsey, Geo. H. Hulme, and George 
Thornton. 

A mother in Israel she was, indeed – in every relation proving herself 
unselfish, devoted, kind, charitable, spiritual.
