General Notes: Husband - Henry Nicholas Hacke "H. H." Bair
He married and moved to Congruity, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, about 1848. He, with his brothers Isaac and Sebastian, were the inventors of what was known as the tumbling-shaft threshing machines and was largely interested in the machine business at Congruity at the time of his death. He was prominently known throughout the country as a manufacturer of farm machinery, etc. He was among the earliest undertakers in the county, and was the first to manufacture broadcloth-covered coffins. He was one of the founders of Trinity Reformed church at New Salem, as was also his wife. In politics he was a Democrat. He took a very active part in the public school system, and for many years served as a member of the school board in Salem township, and was a candidate for county commissioner at the time of his death.
General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Eliza Keener
She could trace her ancestry back to the Ubero and Frantzs and her great-grandfather, great-grandmother and their daughter were captured by the Indians about the time of the destruction of Hannahstown, Pennsylvania. The great-grandfather was murdered at the time, and the two women taken with the tribe of Indians to a point along the Monongahela river, near present McKeesport, and after about six months of captivity escaped and stole their way back to their home just north of Greensburg.
