J.M Bernhardt and his brother Lynn were orphaned in the 1860s after losing both of their parents, and to support themselves they went to work in a local general store. While Lynn remained in the retail field, J.M. later ventured west to Oregon where he became a logger and nearly died from a dangerous bout of pneumonia. A few years later, with a new lease on life and an expanded understanding of all this country had to offer, J.M. returned to Lenoir with a desire to build an industry to support the local economy and to give back to the community – a community that had provided love and support to the Bernhardt family.

A true American pioneer, J.M. Bernhardt used his knowledge of the logging industry to start his own sawmill, eventually organizing a company to build furniture from the lumber he purchased. Over time, Bernhardt Furniture, and J.M. himself, began to create an impeccable reputation of quality and value – a reputation that remains with the company to this day.
