He had two older brothers (Joseph and Frederick) and a younger sister (Agatha)and brother John. The first of Bernards's family member's to emigrate to America was older and married brother Frederick and his young family. They landed at the Port of New York in July 1850. They went west to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and eventually settled on a farm in Eagle Township, Waukesha County, Wisconsin. It is believed Bernard and the rest of the family (father Franz, brother Joseph and his family, brother John, and sister Agatha) landed at the Port of New York in July 1852. It is believed he worked for the railroad and then went to Chicago, Illinois. The first American record placed him in Illinois, where he married Edigna Kohler on 27 Nov. 1856 at St. Peter's Church, Chicago, Illinois. They ran a large boarding house in Chicago. Times turned bad and they tried to sell but when that was not possible they had to leave everything behind and moved to Wisconsin. Their first child, Franziska Marianne, was born in Eagle, Wisconsin on 5 Sep. 1857. Their second child, Frederick, was born 16 Dec 1857 in Eagle. Bernard served in the Civil War. He enlisted on 10 Dec 1861 and served as a private in Co. B, 17th Regiment of Wisconsin's Volunteer Infantry. He was involved in several battles and the "March to the Sea" with General Sherman. He was discharged on 12 Jan. 1865 A daughter Agatha was born 14 Feb. 1862. A third daughter, Elizabeth, was born on 25 Dec 1864. On 13 Feb. 1865, Bernard purchased property in Vernon County. It was about half way between Coon Valley and Westby. A son August was born and died there in about 1865/6. Three other children were born there, Frank Jan. 1867, John Bernard 19 Oct. 1870, and Mary Josephine 8 Sep. 1874. On 12 Dec. 1871, citizenship was granted to Bernard. The family belonged to Pine Hollow Catholic Church. While living in Vernon County, Bernard held the position of Justice of the Peace, served on the local school board, and also served as an election clerk. In the spring of 1887, Bernard left Wisconsin to take up some land in Dakota. He filed a Soldier's Declaratory Statement #881 on 17 Mar. 1887 and settled near Hillsview in McPherson County. Bernard died in McPherson County, South Dakota on 14 July 1896. He was buried at Hillsview, but his remains were moved to Aberdeen's Sacred Heart Cemetery after Edigna died and was buried there in 1906.
