1904 Obituary excerpts: "Salina Jane Fair, beloved wife of Mark Fair, died at her home in Dakota City last Sunday. She had been in failing health for several years and for some months had been almost a helpless invalid, gradually and slowly failing. She slept herself into the other world with a pleasant smile on her lips. They came to Nebraska in 1868 and settled on a farm southwest of town, selling it about eight years ago and removing to town, where, like other retired farmers, they have been enjoying themselves in ease and comfort. She was a native of Indiana County, Pa., born February 27, 1828, being in her 76th year. She was united in marriage to Mark Fair Dec. 26, 1854. All of her family were with her when she died except a daughter who resides in Oregon. Her children, five daughters and two sons, are all married except two, and are as follows: Mrs. John T. Bressler, Wayne [Nebraska]; Mrs. Helen Hanson, Dixon County; Mrs. Ida Gribble, Hubbard; Porter, Council Bluffs, Iowa; Mrs. Kate Jensen, Gaston, Oregon; Harvey R., Omaha; and Gertie, who resides at home and took care of the household. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Lutheran church, conducted by Rev. S. M. Lesher, the remains being followed to the Dakota City cemetery by a large concourse of mourners who were her friends and acquaintances. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. The bereaved family desire in this manner to express their heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors who so kindly rendered aid and assistance during the loss of wife and mother." |
