The Holton Recorder, Thursday, November 9, 1922
Bair.
Margaret M. LATTA was born on April 12, 1844, in Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, and died at her home in Holton, Friday morning, November 3, 1922, at the age of 78 years, 6 months and 22 days.
She received her education in the public schools of Westmoreland, after which she taught school in her home county for three years. She was married to Henry B. BAIR on October 4, 1870. To this union nine children were born, T.L. Bair of Minneola, Kan., Edwin Bair who died on March 19, 1892, John L. Bair and Harry Bair both of Holton, Kan., R.D. Bair of Lamar, Colo., Mrs. C.A. REMY of Kansas City, Mo., Sadie L. Bair and Mrs. Grace JOHNSTON, both of Holton, and Mary L. Bair who died at Ft. Riley, October 25, 1918.
In 1879, she with her husband left Pennsylvania and came to Kansas and settled on a farm near Holton which was their home until they moved to town a few years ago.
When she was only a young girl she confessed her faith in Jesus Christ and united with the Presbyterian church in her home town in Pennsylvania, later transferring her membership to the Holton Presbyterian church. She was a true Christian, always attending the services of the church until sickness in her home kept her closely confined to her home. She was of a quiet disposition, keeping her trouble largely to herself. During the last few years she took great comfort in God's Word, reading the Bible through from beginning to end not less than three times.
Besides raising her own children, she was also a true mother to four step-children, all of whom are living except one; they are Mrs. E.C. FOWLER of Topeka, Miss Jessie Bair also of Topeka, Mr. S.M. Bair of Soldier, and George B. Bair, who died 11 years ago.
Her husband, Henry Bair preceded her to the other land on the ninth day of August last.
Besides the children and step-children she leaves to mourn her departure a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
We mourn but "We mourn not as those who have no hope."
Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church Monday morning at 10:30, conducted by Rev. F.E. Munneke. Music was furnished by Miss Ellen LOWELL, Mrs. Herbert MOYER, B.E. CANFIELD, and W.J. GLENN. The pallbearers were George ARMEL, L.E. ARMEL, James FISHER, S.H. STAUFFER, B.T. WIBLE, Robert FERNKOPF. Burial in Holton cemetery.
