General Notes: Husband - David Blair

---

He was born in Ireland and was twelve years old when brought by his parents to the United States. He finished his education at the old Birchfield school house, Pittsburgh. In 1854, while attending school during the winters, he found employment in the brickyard of Alexander Negley and continued to work there until 1866. He then engaged in the manufacture of brick for himself, and in 1868, having been successful, took his brothers William and Edward into partnership, the firm becoming D. Blair & Brothers. For more than twenty-five years Mr. Blair was one of the directors of the City Deposit Bank of Pittsburgh, and at one time was also vice-president of the institution. For three years he served on the school board of the Twentieth ward, and always took an active interest in public affairs. His political principles and opinions were those of an Independent Republican. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church on North Negley and Stanton avenues, and beginning in 1873 held the office of elder, and is actively engaged in the work of the church.
