DORA BERNHARD

  Mrs. Dora Bernhard, wife of John Bernhard, died in the Hazel McGilvery 
Hospital, Meyersdale, at 4:10 p.m., Aug. 3, 1942.  Her death was caused by 
meningitis, following a surgical operation in the Garfield Memorial Hospital, 
Washington, D.C., several weeks ago.  Her condition was serious most of the time 
following the surgery, although there were intervals when hope for her recovery 
was entertained.
  Wednesday of last week her brother, Dr. Alexander Solosko of Salisbury, had 
her brought from Washington to Meyersdale, where he could give her all his 
personal attention that was possible, and everything that was humanly possible 
was done to save her life, but to no avail.
  The Bernhard family located in Salisbury about three years ago, where Mrs. 
Bernhard opened an office as a chiropodist, in the residence property which they 
purchased at that time, and since resided in Salisbury.  Mrs. Bernhard served 
her home community well in her profession; but also spent a portion of her time 
in Louisiana, where her husband was employed most of the time, by the federal 
government, as a civil engineer.
  She was a native of Russia and was born Dec. 22, 1903, at Latvia, in that 
country.  She was a daughter of Level and Freda Daragov Solosko.  She is 
survived by her husband, John Bernhard, a native of Holland, and one child 
Alexander Bernhard, not yet of school age.  She is also survived by five sisters 
and four brothers, all located in or near New York City, except her brother, 
Alexander, a well-known physician and surgeon of Salisbury.
  Mrs. Bernhard's funeral was private, with no one in attendance but a few 
immediate relatives.  Interment was in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, at 9 
a.m., Tuesday, under the direction of Stanley M. Thomas, Salisbury mortician.
