Bernard Cohn (November 7, 1835 – November 1, 1889) was a wool buyer and a capitalist in 19th-century Los Angeles, California, as well as a member of the Los Angeles Common Council, that city's legislative body. It was Cohn who provided former California Governor Pio Pico a sum of money in exchange for all of Pico's property, which eventually led to Pico's spending the rest of his days in poverty. He was also known for maintaining two families, one Jewish and one Catholic, at opposite ends of the town.[1]
