    After a long sickness Mr. Wm. Fair passed peacefully away on Sunday morning about 8 o'clock. The deceased came to Canada about the year 1846, from Roxburghshire, Scotland, settling in Paris, where he learned the trade of cooper. About 8 years later he came to Ayr and worked with the late Mr. Wm. Hall as a carpenter. For the last 17 years he has been a trusted employee of the Watson Mfg. Co. His brother Robert, of Chicago, is the only surviving member of the family, their sister having died in Paris last November. He leaves a wife, five sons and a daughter to mourn the loss of a kind anf faithful father. About 13 years ago Mr. Fair joined the Odd Fellows, and was a consistent worker in the order, he having occupied all the places of honor in Dolman Lodge. The funeral was largely attended by visiting brethren and his Yellow employees. The services were conducted by the Oddfellows.
