General Notes: Husband - John Fair

---

At the age of two years became a permanent cripple, caused by severe sickness, so that all through life he was compelled to walk with the help of a cane. He was reared on his father's farm in Washington township, Armstrong County, and after attending the common schools of that township (not being able to work on the farm) engaged in teaching, which he followed for seventeen years. From 1865 to 1872 he was employed as a clerk with different mercantile firms in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in the latter-named year he came to Adrian, Pennsylvania, where he opened a general mercantile establishment. In addition to his mercantile business he had an interest in a large farm near Adrian.
He was a prominent republican, and in May, 1880, was elected justice of the peace of East Franklin township. He was re-elected in 1886. He was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, of which he was a trustee.
