***NOTES***
• One obituary lists her date of death as 23 Dec 1979, and the other as 24 Dec 1979. The SSDI simply lists that she died Dec 1979, so I'm not sure which date is correct.
• The Allamakee Journal obituary lists her place of death as Haley, South Dakota, while the Arizona Republic says that she died near Hailey, Idaho. There is no Haley, South Dakota, but there is a Hailey, Idaho, so I believe that the Allamakee Journal obituary lists the incorrect location.
• Bernice was born as Bernice Altine Roe in Jul 1903, to Oscar John Roe and Berthina Rosine “Bertha” (Jeglum) Roe.

I am not related to the deceased and have no further information.
