The Bakersfield Californian
John Allan Muir, Sr.
1915 - 2004

Private family services will be held for John A. Muir Sr., 89, who passed away 
peacefully after a brief illness. 

John was born in Bakersfield on January 3, 1915 to John Church Muir and Bly 
Scribner Muir. John was proud to be a member of one of Bakersfields early 
pioneering families. His mother, Bly was born in Bakersfield in 1894. The 
Scribner family played a large role in the early history and development of 
Bakersfield, owning and operating the Scribner Opera House and the Scribner 
Water Tower (destroyed in the 1952 earthquake), among many other downtown 
interests.

John attended local schools, graduating from Kern Union High School in 1933. 
He went on to graduate from Berkeley University with a degree in Engineering. 
John was a retired petroleum engineer.

John was preceded in death by his wife, Nancy Muir in 2000. He is survived by 
his four children, Jacqueline Cavin, John A. Muir, Jr., Carolyn Muir, Kathleen 
Evarts and her husband, Charles; 10 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; 
sister, Barbara Snook; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Lee & Bill Steele; 
numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to say a special thank you to Carol Hatton, Continueum 
Senior Care Management, Nurse Judith and the wonderful staff at Memorial 
Hospitals 6th Floor, Pam and Anne at Hoffman Hospice, who made his last days 
comfortable and Kaiser Permanente for their caring staff.
