    Notes:

    The first postmaster at Blair was Wendal Bowman who served from 1858 to 1863. Mr. Bowman was succeeded by Henry Bechtel Sr. who operated the post office from 1863 to 1865. Mr. Bechtel was in turn succeeded by John R. Renshaw who was Blair's postmaster from 1865 to 1892. It was during Mr. Renshaw's tenure, in 1874, that the Grand Trunk Railway built a station in Blair and the post office moved to that facility. With the move Mr. Renshaw became stationmaster as well as postmaster.

    The office of postmaster remained in the Renshaw family for a number of years with John Renshaw's widow, Margaret, filling the office from 1892 to 1895. She was succeeded in 1895 by her son John J.H. Renshaw who retained the office until his death in 1913. At this point his widow Lois Renshaw took over the office which she relinquished in 1914.

    Notes:

    MRS. GEORGE PATTERSON and her daughter, Miss MAGGIE ARNOT PATTERSON, devout and devoted souls! Making much of the sacred Word, meditating in it day and night and enjoying much of the blessedness of which the psalmist sings. They came of a godly and cultivated stock and were ever hymning their thoughts in metre. Many of their compositions have we seen, all bearing evidence that they net only had the poetic temperament, but they had also the facility of verse. But their greatest talent was the pious, godly lives they lived, and by which they still speak to all who knew them. Their motto was: " For me to live is Christ." They were the meek ones of the earth and were willing to have their lives hid with Christ in God.
