Funeral services for the late Mrs. Marcus Kaliski, member of the faculty of

Monday morning, was held at 5:45 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Peters
Funeral Chapel, South Grand Street in Monroe.  Burial was made in the Jewish

The honorary pallbearers included the faculties of the city school system, the

The city hall was closed from 2 o'clock in the afternoon for the rest of the
day as a mark of respect for Mrs. Kaliski, it was announced Monday night by
Commissioner William H. D. Rodriquez, acting mayor during Mayor Bernstein's
absence.

Mrs. Kaliski had been a teacher at Barkdull Faulk School for the past ten
years.  Prior to that beginning in 1896, at the age of twenty, she served for
seven years as a teacher on the staff of the old Central High School.  In 1903
on her marriage to Marcus Kaliski, a prominent jeweler of Monroe, she gave up
her school activities but returned to Barkdull Faulk School in 1926, when she
became a teacher in the first grade, a position she filled up to the time of
her death.  She was widely known for her capabilities and for her personal
charm and broad cultural attainments.

Mrs. Kaliski was a member of the famed Bernstein family of Winnfield.  She was
a sister of Mayor Arnold Bernstein of Monroe and of the late Henry Bernstein,
one of Monroe's noted lawyers.  She was born in Montgomery, La., in 1876 but
removed at an early age with her parents to Winnfield where she attended the
public schools of Winn Parish.
