General Notes: Husband - Kenneth Henry Bair

---

He was born at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools. After his course at Mercersburg Preparatory School, he graduated from Pennsylvania State College in the class of 1912, with his Bachelor of Arts degree.
His business life began with his association with the Travelers' Insurance Company, as special agent, and after about a year and a half with that company, he joined the insurance firm of Bair & Lane, in Greensburg, of which his father, Edward H, Bair, was the head. On March 1, 1925, with A. E. McCloskey, he bought out the business of Bair & Lane, and continued it under the name of Bair & McCloskey. This was one of the oldest insurance agencies in the county, established in 1883, as Gay & Bair.
Mr. Bair was a Democrat in his political views.
During the World War, Mr. Bair was first assigned to the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and later assigned to the 10th Field Artillery, with which regiment he went overseas, then was detached from that regiment and assigned to the air service, as a balloon observer on the front lines of the American Expeditionary Forces, holding the rank of lieutenant.
His fraternal affiliations were with Lodge No. 518, Free and Accepted Masons, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He was also a member of the Greensburg Country Club; the Chamber of Commerce, and Beta Theta Pi College Fraternity. His religious fellowship was with the Second Reformed Church.
