General Notes: Husband - James Fair


He was born near New Alexandria, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, was educated in the common schools of the district, and at the age of twelve years removed to Indiana County, where the remainder of his life was spent as a successful farmer. In his younger years he was an adherent of the Democratic party, but at the formation of the Republican party he allied himself with it and was an earnest supporter of its war measures during the Rebellion. He was a man whose influence was always felt in the community, although he was never an office-seeker, and never held any elective office except township positions, among them being those of school director, supervisor and auditor. He and his family were members of the Blairsville Presbyterian church, of which he was an elder for many years. In 1866 he joined the congregation then forming at Black Lick, was one of the first elders of that church, and superintendent of the Sunday school.


General Notes: Wife - Harriet Smith


She had the advantage of a good education in the public schools and in a young ladies'
school at Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.
