Former Belle Of San Rafael Passes Away
Mrs. Amelia Du Jardin, Daughter of Marin Pioneer Dies in San Francisco
Mrs. Amelia Du Jardin, daughter of William Bernard, one of the best known pioneer residents of San Rafael, who during her girlhood was acclaimed as one of the noted beauties of the bay region, died last Friday in San Francisco, where for a number of years she had made her home. Mrs. Du Jardin was a native of San Rafael, and her marriage to the late Louis Du Jardin was one of the notable social events of Northern California.
As a young girl Amelia Bernard was known as one of the belles of San Rafael. Her father, William Bernard, owned the stage line between San Rafael and San Quentin, and was also the builder of the old Cosmopolitan Hotel. He formerly owned the property at Fourth and B streets, where the Bank of San Rafael now stands, and it was here that the state station was located. Bernard was also at one time a member of the board of supervisors of Marin county.
Mrs. Du Jardin is survived by two brothers, E. W. and Benjamin L. Bernard, and three sisters, Lucille Bernard, Lillian Krobitsch and Grace Reis. Funeral services were held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, interment being in San Francisco. The services were attended by a number of old-time residents of San Rafael, who had known the deceased during her life in this city.
