Mariposa Gazette, Number 48, 11 May 1895
Death of James C Adair
The death of one of our old pioneers always casts a gloom over the entire community, even when it has been heralded by months of sickness, but when it comes as suddenly as in the taking away of Mr. Adair, it is felt more keenly. He had been failing in health for some months, but was up and around the streets till within a few days of the end. Mr. Adair came to Mariposa county in the early fifties, and since that time has made his home at Bear Valley. He was a genial man noted for his kindness of heart, and had many friends all over the county. He was the father of our ex-district attorney, J. A. Adair, who with his grief stricken mother, four brothers and one sister are left behind. The body was brought to Mariposa and buried in the Catholic cemetery.

James C. Adair was born in Ireland in 1833. He married Mary Dolan in Philadelphia before coming to California with John C. Fremont. He was the Superintendent of Mines in Mariposa County for Fremont until his death in 1895. James and Mary had four [five] sons and one daughter. His son James A. Adair married Annie Kerrins, daughter of Chris Kerrins, and he was a school teacher, owner of the Mariposa Gazette and District Attorney of Mariposa for 10 years.
