He was one of seven children born to William G. Shannon and Jennie Bacon Shannon.
On March 13, 1913, he was united in marriage with Sarah Zalman, at her parents home. This union was blessed with three children, who mourn the passing of their father. They are Marvel (Mrs. Ed Ryan) of Hastings, Oral of Glasglow, Montana and Don of Red Cloud. Bernnie and his family enjoyed rural living and doing commercial trucking, and many ears were spent on farms near Red Cloud and Lebanon, Kansas.
