Mr. Bernard held many positions of importance. He was Sec. of the Cass Co. Agricultural Association for several years and editor of the Walker Pilot and the Cass County Voice. His funeral was at Cass Lake, where he was interred by the Masonic order. (Pine Tree Blaze, Dec 11, 1908)
The funeral of A. G. Bernard was held here at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, under the auspices of the Masons. The body was escorted to the Episcopal church from the Miskella mortuary, by the pall-bearers, who placed the remains in the rear of the church, giving the Masonic brothers and former fellow citizens of the deceased an opportunity to gaze for the last time upon the calm features of one, whose achievements have made him an honored and respected figure. After all had viewed the remains the casket was brought to the alter.
The services were conducted by Rev. H. F. Parshall and were very impressive. The choir sang the two beautiful hymns: "Sleeping in Jesus," and "Remember Now, Thy Creator." Miss Zella Gardner sang, in a very affecting manner, the solo entitled "Calvary."
After the services the remains were placed in the hearse and were escorted by Rev. Parshall and the Masonic members to Cass Lake Cemetery, where the Masonic burial
service was held, after which the casket was lowered to its final resting place.
The pall bearers were E. L. Warren, C. E. Battles, L. H. Burns, J. T. Gardner, C. M. Taylor and F. W. Smith.
There were a number in attendance from outside towns, including a delegation of Masons from Bemidji. (Cass Lake Times, Special to Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Dec 11, 1908)
