General Notes: Husband - William Blair

---

He and his father were pioneers of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, settling in what later became East Franklin township, where they cleared and improved a farm. In his later life William Blair moved to Clarion County.

He was educated in the public schools of Kittanning, Armstrong County, and during his active career was a prominent and wealthy farmer. At one time he owned as much as seven hundred acres of land in Clarion County. He was interested in the raising of high-grade stock and met with unusual success as a breeder. He was originally a Whig in politics, but later transferred his allegiance to the Republican party. For many years he was a member of the local school board and in religious matters he was a devout member of the Seceder church.

He and his wife became the parents of ten children, nine of whom reached years of maturity.
