I found an article in the July 23, 1910 edition of the Illinois State Register, which quoted an article from the St. Louis Times about Joe Bernard. The Times sometimes included a photo of the player when highlighting a player from the St. Louis Trolley leagues. Bernard was pitching for the Hyde Parks at the time.
The Times is not available online, but it is on microfilm at the St. Louis Public Library downtown. I was able to spend a short time skimming the paper trying to find the original article to see if there was a picture with it, and I didn't find it at all. I'll look again when I get a chance.
He was also an officer at the Illini Country Club. They may have a photo of him from his term there.
Just some places to look. No photo found yet.
