Mr. Vair was a native of Newstead, Roxboroughshire, Scotland, and came to this country in 1840. He first settled at Kingston, where he remained about four years, then removing to Belleville where he also spent about the same time. While there he was married to Mary Ann, second daughter of the late Edward Cleugh, who still survives him. Leaving Belleville he came to Dickie Settlement in North Dumfries, where he resided for about 25 years. Retiring from active life about 16 years ago he came to Galt, where he has since continuously resided. Besides his widow he leaves two sons and an adopted daughter, viz.: - Mr. Thomas Vair, station agent, Durham; Mr. R. A. Vair, station agent, Norwich, Ont. and Mrs. Martin Johnston, of Detroit.

    Galt Man Who Died Identified By Brothers

    Detroit, Dec. 18 - Byron S. Vair, thirty-seven years old, who came to Detroit from Galt, Ont., a few years ago was found dead in an alley off Brainerd street near Cass avenue last night, but it was not until this evening that the body was identified by the two brothers, W. R. Vair and W. V. Vair, both prominent in Detroit railroad circles.

    Mr. Vair was formerly employed by the Grand Trunk, but had been in failing health for two years and unable to perform his duties. He was last seen on Wednesday afternoon, when he left home, saying he was going to call on some friends in the neighborhood where the body was afterwards found.

    The family declares that Vair's death was due to heart disease, but the Corner and a county physician have decided to send his stomach for analysis before rendering an opinion. The funeral will be held on Saturday.
