General Notes: Husband - Peter Cribbs Fair

---

He received his education in the subscription and free schools of the home district, but meantime he had to assist his father with the work on the farm. So although the school terms were short he did not attend every day. However, he was a diligent student, and he managed to acquire enough schooling to fit himself for teaching, which profession he followed for twenty years during the winter season. The rest of the year he was engaged in farming. For a time he worked on a farm in Blacklick township, Indiana County, later buying the Hugh McClaren farm, in Center township, which comprised 120 acres, and there he lived to the end of his days, prospering in his own interests and becoming closely associated with local affairs, political and social. He not only improved his home place, but was able to acquire other property, at one time owning about three hundred acres. He was independent in politics, having progressive ideas in that respect as in everything which engaged his attention. He was a prominent member of the Grange, and in fraternal connection a member of Blairsville Lodge, F. & A. M. He was a good conversationalist, and an interesting and forcible public speaker. He was originally a member of the Lutheran Church, later joining the M. E. Church at Homer City.
