Childhood Bernard was raised in Washington County, Virginia, where he was the 3rd son and 6th child of 10 children (his father would later add 2 more daughters from a second marriage). 
Cens-190019 Jun 1900  Bernard lived in Abingdon (Washington County) in his early 20s, and worked as a salesman. In 1920 he was enumerated boarding in a hotel.4 
Marriagecirca 1915 He married Clara Roscoe circa 1915.5,6 
Cens-19303 Apr 1930 Following his marriage to Clara, Bernard lived in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1930 the couple owned a home valued at $6,000. They also owned a radio (one of the census questions that year). Bernard worked as a mail clerk in the local post office. Of the 3 children living with the couple the eldest, a 23 year old male, does not appear to be Bernard's son, even though he is listed as such. Two daughters, Clara and Jane (or June) Joyce were listed with the same last name as the 23 year old but were probably Bernard and Clara's children.6
