JAMES FAIR
Funeral services for James Fair, 26, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Fair, who died Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at his home, were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence by the Rev. Clarence Howington with interment in the Carter grave yard.
Young Fair was found badly burned near the Watauga river bridge Saturday by the driver of a bakery truck. He was picked up and taken to his home where his condition was reported serious. Yesterday he developed pneumonia fever resulting in his death.
Fair is said to have been in company with Ike Blevins and Doodle Burrow, fishing in the Watauga. They had a bon fire and it is believed that he either fell or was pushed in some unexplained way, into the blaze, his clothes and body being badly seared.
Survivors include the father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Fair; four sisters, Analine, Novell, Retia and Mrs. Mag Burrow; and one brother, Ben Fair.
Pallbearers included W. C. Forbes, Herman Lodge, Lynn Fair, Bill Lee, Lonnie Martin and Milton Estep.
Flower bearers: Eddie Roberson, Fabie McKinney, Blanch Howington, Emma Bowers, Etta Hoss and Orgie Winebarger.
