Bernhard Emil Max, born on February 11, 1856 at Höltkewiese, was apprenticed to a gunsmith in Berlin in the spring of 1872, but in February 1873 went to America with his parents and joined his brother Karl in Manistee, Michigan.
In 1877 he bought the above-mentioned farm in Birdsview on the north side of the Skagit River which, however, he gave over to his brother Adalbert for 1,050 dollars.
In February 1887 he traveled to Sardis, Ohio to visit his parents. Here he got to know his later wife Anna Drollinger (born January 30, 1869 at Wheeling ), to whom he was married on May 24, 1887.
Returning to Birdsview, he bought another farm there, which he enlarged in 1889. On August 28, 1896 however, he disposed of this property and moved to Spokane in the state of Washington.
Bernhard died in Spokane on May 28, 1960. This branch of the family has now died out.
