Notes for Bernard Austin Cassit Smith Shields:
"Since each of his three sisters married attorneys, they wanted their younger brother to be an attorney. So one month after he was twenty-one, he took the State test and was admitted to the bar." per Edna Pearle Shields Palmer

"Although he practiced law the greater part of his life, he was never happy in his work. He loved to tinker and at one time applied for a patent for a railroad car coupler. However, another man in another part of the country invented a similar coupler and patented it only a few days ahead of him." per Edna Pearle

"He was blind the last years of his life because an operation on his eyes (for cataracts) had been bungled." per Edna Pearle

My mother (Edna Earle Palmer Chase) remembered him living with them after he was blinded. She was 5 when he died.
