Brice Blair died at the age of 37 years, 9 months, and 18 days, due to a skull fracture he got working for the B&O Railroad when a train car hit him (according to death records). His trade is listed as simply "laborer". Brice was my uncle, the brother of my father Dorsey Blair. His parents were Forest Otto Blair, and Margaret Emily (Ayers) Blair. He had several brothers and a couple of sisters. He was married to a woman named Lucy Blair at one time. The death certificate lists the Shinnston Cemetery as his final resting place, and I am not sure if it is the Shinnston Masonic (like many other Blairs). There are two cemeteries. There is a note on the side of his death certificate that reads, "buried with a provision and no permit". I can only assume the permit finally arrived.
