The Washington Evening Journal, 17 Apr 1902
Louisa Gray Bernard died at the family home east of Wellman, at 7:30 a.m. 
Monday, April 14, 1902.  Mrs. Louisa Bernard, wife of Henry Bernard, aged 70 
years, 7 months and 11 days.  Funeral services were held at the home, on 
Wednesday, April 16, at 10 o'clock a.m. conducted by Rev. W. R. Stryker.  
Burial at Wellman cemetery. Louisa, daughter of Catherine and Benjamin Gray, 
was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, Aug 20, 1831.  Removed to Iowa in 1853, and 
was married to Henry Bernard Aug. 28, 1854.  The husband still survives and 
deeply mourns the death of a true and loving wife.  Seven children were born 
to them.  All are living, as follows: Mary Catherine, wife of A. J. Dawson, 
Laura Ann, wife of Geo. Ayers; Lewis Julius; Hiram; Lizzie Jane, widow of 
Richard Ayers; Ella May, wife of Chas. Wahl; Bertha Bell, wife of Lewis Wahl.  
All the children reside in Nebraska except the last three named.  One sister 
and four brothers also remain to mourn her.  They are: Mrs. Isabelle Adams of 
Wellman, Hiram Gray of Daytonville; John and Anderson Gray of Illinois; Wm. 
Schurr, of Washington, a half brother.  Mrs. Bernard has resided in this 
neighborhood ever since coming west 49 years ago.  She was always devoted to 
her home and loved ones, ever ready to lend a helping hand in case of sickness 
or misfortune in the neighborhood.  Her life was one of faithful devotion to 
those about her, and the world has been better and brighter for her having 
lived in it.  Her death is the first break in the family circle.  The bereaved 
husband, children and all relatives may feel assured of a wide spread sympathy 
in the hour of their deep affliction.
