George D. Hair, 81, pioneer citizen of Bartlett, was claimed by death shortly after noon Wednesday in a Temple hospital where he had been carried earlier in the day. He had been ill at his home here for about ten days.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at the Methodist church with Rev. V.B. Breazeale and Rev. L.R. Vanderpool in charge. Burial was in the Bartlett cemetery.
Mr. Hair's father was a native of South Carolina who later settled near Chica, Louisiana where he was born February 17, 1860. The Hair family came to Texas in 1872 and settled near Corn Hill where they played an important role in the development of this section, making substantial citizens and community builders. The trip to Texas was made in ox wagons.
He was married June 13, 1879, to Julie Calhoun and to that union was born six children, two girls and four boys. His wife died in 1892 and three children preceded him in death.
On Oct. 14, 1894 he was married to Maggie McAfee, and to this union was born four children, two boys and two girls.
Survivors are his wife, five sons, Naaman Hair of Bartlett, Sam Hair of Prairie Dell, Bill Hair of Los Angeles, Calif., Almer Hair of Temple and El Hair of San Antonio; two daughters, Mrs. Reed Turner of Granger and Mrs. Joe Bessent of Dickinson and nineteen grandchildren.
Mr. Hair was in the ginning business here from 1897 until 2 years ago when his gin here burned. His first gin was located four miles west of Bartlett. It was started in 1897 when there were few gins in this section. In 1906 he built the gin in Bartlett which he operated until 1939. In 1912 he built a gin at Florence and operated it for several years.
No greater tribute can be paid by any man than that he dealt fairly and honorably with his fellow man and that he never failed to lend assistance when he found one in need, and this was true of George Hair.
