Astoria Argus, March 1922
Mrs. Margaret Bair Aged 82 Years, Died Thursday, March 2
Margaret Eve Storick, daughter of Adam and Elizabeth Storick. was born in Gettysburg, Penn., April 28, 1839, and passed away March 2, 1922, at her home one mile south of Pleasant Ridge church, aged 82 years, ten months and seven days.
She was united in marriage with Ephraim Bair, Sept. 19, 1865. To this union six children were born: Toler of Peoria, William, Mrs. Sally Trone, Mrs. Ella Lawrence, who live in this vicinity, are the surviving children of the family. The husband and two children having precede her to the better land, the husband in 1911, her son, Edward in 1918; a little daughter, Mary Bell, died in infancy.
Mrs. Bair was well known and loved by all who knew her. She was a person of sweet disposition and it was a pleasure to be with her, even in her last weeks of intense suffering. She was so patient, kind and thoughtful, always asking if meals were prepared for those who came in to see her. She was a home loving woman, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.
When a young girl, she joined the Lutheran church in Penn. When the great battle of Gettysburg was fought, she with her sister helped cook for the soldiers and was on her feet two days and nights. When speaking of it her eyes would fill with tears, you could see how her heart had suffered in those days of war, but now all this is over and God has said, Thy work is done, come up higher.
The Angels have taken my mother,
To the land where no sorrow will come,
There she waits and watches for another,
To welcome her loved ones home.
Oh, me thinks I can see my dear mother,
As she waits on the glittering strand,
I can see the brought crown on her forehead,
And the gleam of her beckoning hand.
Funeral services were held Sunday at 10:30 o'clock at the Pleasant Ridge church, conducter by Rev. John Davis. Interment in the Oak Grove cemetery.
