    Notes:

    Bernice, who was paralyzed in the spine and legs while giving birth to their second daughter Joan. Much of Siebert's income went to pay for his wife's expensive medical bills. With a crippled wife, Siebert did the household chores and raised their girls.

    Before every game fans silently watched Siebert carry his invalid wife to her box and then retrieve her afterwards. It was a moving scene that endeared him to hockey fans everywhere.

    Montreal Gazette sports editor Elmer Ferguson wrote that "the Babe would become embroiled in fistic battles. Perhaps he would suffer penalties and earn the disfavour of the crowd by his bruising style of play. Perhaps the game would make him seem like a crude and uncouth person, rough and brutal. From the dressing room, the Babe would stride along the promenade until he reached the chair where his fragile bit of an invalid wife sat. Bending down, he would kiss her, then he would gather her up into his great muscular arms, stride out of the rink, and deposit her carefully in a waiting car that would take her home to the kiddies that he adored so much."

    One biographer noted "those things were never in the headlines" but were known throughout the hockey world.

    "An October 29, 1939, benefit game pitting NHL all-stars against the Canadiens raised $15,000 for 32-year-old Bernice and the girls. She hired a caregiver/nanny and for a few years owned a home at 724 Avondale Ave. in Kitchener. Then, with Joan and Judy off to Antioch College in Ohio (thanks to Babe's brothers raising the tuition), Bernice lived in Kitchener with her widowed mother, Priscilla Milhausen, or her brother Clair. After Priscilla's 1959 death, Bernice moved into chronic care at K-W Hospital's Scott Pavilion. She died there Nov. 24, 1964, six months after Babe's name was added to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Bernice and Babe are buried in Kitchener's Woodland cemetery."
