VETERAN MEETS
		TRAGIC DEATH

Athens, GA., March 22.  – Mr J O Adair, 89-year-old Confederate veteran, who 
was injured fatally in an automobile accident Sunday, was buried Monday 
afternoon at Bogart, following services at the Bogart Baptist church. 

Mr. Adair was struck by an automobile driven by Marshall Bell, of Eatonton.  
Witnesses said the accident was unavoidable and no charges were filed against 
Mr. Bell.

Police were told that Mr. Adair apparently failed to hear the horn on Mr. 
Bell’s automobile and stepped into the path of the car.

Mr. Adair was an uncle of Abit Nix, prominent Athens attorney, of Professor 
Shields B Adair, of the agronomy department of the State College of 
Agriculture. 

The Confederate veteran was a prominent citizen of Oconee county.  He was 
injured in front of the home of his son, J. T. Adair, Sr., with whom he had 
been living for several years.  His son lived on the Athens-Watkinsville 
road.  Mr. Adair had just alighted from the automobile of Homer Draper, a 
neighbor, and walked around in front of the parked car and into the highway 
where he was struck by Bell’s automobile.  Bell blew his horn as he approached 
the parked car, witnesses said.  Mr. Adair, relatives said, as partly deaf.  
The veteran would have been 90 years old on April 9, and plans already were 
underway for a family  reunion at the home of his son. 

Rev. J. T. Grizzle, pastor of the Bogart church, officiated at the funeral 
services.  The pall bearers were the following nephews, Abit Nix, Professor 
Shields B Adair, R. C. Nix, and Dillard Nix, and his grand-sons, Hoyt D. 
Dickson and H. G. Dickson. 

Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. D. M. Dickson, of Rutledge, whom he had 
visited Sunday; Mrs. Robert Poss, of Marietta, and Mrs. Aline Swilling, of 
Marietta; three sons, J. T. Adair, Sr., of near Watkinsville; F. M. Adair, 
Denton, Texas, and M. C. Adair, Atlanta; a sister, Mrs. Josephine Hudson, 
Atlanta, and a brother, Dr. Robin B. Adair, of Atlanta.

					_______

Mr. Adair made his home for several years with his daughter, Mrs. D. M. 
Dickson, at old Austin, and was known to many of our people.
