General Notes: Husband - Barney Otto Fair
He attended the public schools of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, until he was fifteen years of age, then began life as a wage earner. His first position was as clerk in the grocery store of his brother, George E. Fair, at Irondale, Ohio, continuing with him five years. He then formed a partnership with his brother, Ross R. Fair, and established a grocery store in Shamokin, Pennsylvania. After two years in business there he sold out and moved to Verona, Pennsylvania, where for two years he was engaged in the grocery and meat business. He then opened a bakery in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, but not being either familiar or pleased with that line of commercial activity, did not long continue. He sold out and for several months was a worker in the iron mills at Leechburg, Pennsylvania. He next bought out a general store at Glenfield, Pennsylvania, which he successfully conducted for six years. In 1906, realizing the coming importance of the automobile, he established a garage and repair shop in Beaver Falls, the first of its kind in Beaver County. He eventually located at No. 1904 Seventh avenue, a growing and prosperous section of the borough, in a three-story brick and concrete building sixty feet by one hundred feet, as nearly fireproof as is possible. He was popular with the automobiling public, his success proving their confidence and faith in his integrity. He was a member of lodge, chapter and commandery of the Masonic order, and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, all of Beaver Falls. In religion he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in political faith a Republican.
