Questions

Common questions.

How did Bernie get its name?

The town is named for Bernice 'Bernie' Crumb, the daughter of an early settler. It was situated along the St. Louis Southwestern Railway.

Who is from Bernie?

Carl Edward Bailey, the 31st governor of Arkansas, was born in Bernie in 1894, and rockabilly singer Narvel Felts attended Bernie High School.

Are sinkholes and flood zones a concern for Missouri homebuyers?

Missouri DNR reports more than 16,000 known sinkholes, and says sinkholes can damage home foundations and are hard to predict. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, and FEMA reports almost one-third of flood insurance claims come from outside high-risk zones. Buyers in the Ozarks should check both the sinkhole history and the property's FEMA flood zone.
