The 1900 census in Omaha, shows that he was living with his aunt and uncle and working as a railway agent at age 15 while his parents and siblings were settled in Lakeside, Washington near Chelan. He attended and graduated from Idaho Industrial Institute, Weiser Idaho, in 1905, where he met his first wife, Eunice Brown. He served in the Army, 2nd Field Artillary, Fort Battery 1905-1908. Married to Eunice Brown in Seattle, Washington on April 23, 1910, they had three children: Bernard Robert, Bertha Eunice, and William Davis Devin. He was a bridge and railway construction foreman for Aberdeen Construction and Pearson Construction 1909-1912 in Aberdeen, Washington. He then owned and operated Auto Stage and Garage in Arlington, Washington 1913-1917, providing transportation services. He re-enlisted in the Army and attended Army Candidate's School in 1918, then served in Nantes, France as Sgt 1st Class 18th Company, 2nd Regiment, Air Service Mechanics and 2nd Lieutenant, Aviation Section, Signal Corps during World War I for fourteen months. He applied for commission with Reserve Officers Corps and received several positive referrals, but was not accepted. He returned to Arlington, Washington in 1919 and from his journals, struggled to find work, suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, moved around without his family for several years, engaged in temporary labor, and eventually he and his friends Harry Holmstad and Mary (Allyn) Lymberger operated a boarding house in Chelan, Washington. He was a member of the American Legion, Chelan Post No. 108. Bernard divorced Eunice on Sept 13, 1930 while living in Chelan, to marry Mary, but his friend Harry beat him to it. He then moved to Stehekin (on the northwest end of the lake) to claim a homestead. He built a 10 by 12 foot cabin and received his patent in 1937, but the claim was too close to the river and became washed out. Harry and Mary Holmstad were divorced in 1937 and on Jul 8, 1940, Bernard finally married Mary. They lived in Chelan and later in Edmonds where he died of a heart attack on Sept 18, 1946.
