Bernard, Joseph Henri

BERNARD, Joseph Henri (1862- ) was born at Varennes, Que. in 1862, son of Charles Bernard and Louise Brodeur. He was educated at Varennes College and at St. Laurent College near Montreal. In 1879 he joined the firm of J.W. & E.C. Hopkins in Montreal and served a four year apprenticeship with them. In 1885 he began to practice under his own name and continued to work alone until early 1893 when he formed a short-lived partnership with E. Rodier (Montreal Daily Star, 14 Jan. 1893, 12). In 1898 he formed another partnership with Eugene F. Paris. Their office was dissolved in 1902 and Bernard remained active until 1909. One of his students was J. Honore MacDuff (biography and port. in W. Cochrane, The Canadian Album: Men of Canada, ii, 1893, 325).
