Surnames: Blair Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kg.2ADI/1629 Message Board Post: Barry Adage, Barry, Pike Co. IL, Fri. Dec. 12, 1879: "Harvey Blair died at his residence on Friday last. He had been in declining health for some time past, but was able to be around until about two week previous to his death, when he was confined to his bed, and gradually passed away. He was one of the pioneers of this country, an energetic and industrious farmer and a man of whom naught but good can be said. He reared a large family of children, several of whom preceded him to the grave. He was 77 years of age."
