George Hair  
Had Undergone Operation At Monroe Sept. 19
Born and Reared In Franklin Parish; Well Known and Highly Esteemed
 
George Hair, of Monroe, but formerly of Winnsboro and Franklin parish, died 
at the St. Francis Sanitarium in Monroe Wednesday night at 12:45 o'clock.
Mr. Hair had undergone an operation last Thursday, September 19, and his 
condition was thought to be improving until three days before his death.
Mr. Hair was born and reared in Franklin parish at Crowville and his entire 
life was spent in this parish until last February when he accepted a position 
in Monroe with Sherrouse Realty Company. He was 43 years of age, having been 
born on December 17, 1886, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Hair, Sr. He was wed 
to Miss Clara Lea, also of Franklin parish to
which union two children were born.
Mr. Hair served as clerk of the court of Franklin Parish for twelve years, which 
office he filled with the utmost efficiency until two years ago.
A man more respected, loved, highly esteemed and more popular with everyone never 
trod the soil of Franklin parish. He was courteous, kind and true and a gentleman 
of the very highest type. His word was his bond and was never at any time and to 
any degree betrayed. His presence was always welcome in any society. He was a man 
whom men sought and a man of whom could be integrity and a man of worth. A pall of 
sorrow permeates this parish and a multitude of heads are bowed in sorrow while a 
silence made agonizing by his loss, but rendered beautiful with memory, reigns in his 
stead. His smiling face will be seen no more.
Mr. Hair was a member of the Baptist church where he served with the same faithfulness 
that characterzed his life. He was superintendent of the Sunday school of this church in 
Winnsboro for years. He was member of the Masonic fraternity, the Woodman of the World 
and the Lions Club, which orders mourn his passing with the despair of loss.
Rites were said at the family home in Monroe, many Masons, members of the Lions Club and 
business men of that city attending, after which the remains were brought to Winnsboro for burial.
Funeral services were held in the Winnsboro Baptist church, with the Rev. Dana Terry, 
pastor of the local church officiating, assisted by the Reverends C. F. Alleman of 
Lake Providence, Dan C. Barr of Oak Grove, L. T. Hastings of Monroe and A. H. Cullen of 
Winnfield. Interment was made in the local cemetery.
The local church building was crowded far more than capacity and an emense (sic immense) 
crowd was present at the last rites. Unnumbered beautiful floral offerings were contributed.
The deceased is survived by his father, Mr. W. I. Hair, Sr., of Crowville; three sisters, 
Miss Sara Hair of Monore; Mrs. F. A Coon of Monroe; Mrs. Chas. Wilkerson of Jonesville; 
three brothers, C. W., of Monroe; W. I. Jr., of Crowville and R. W., of Winnsboro; all of 
whom were present at the funeral services with their respective families; his wife and 
two children, George Jr. and Hilda Ann, and unnumbered other relatives and friends. 
Dr. and Mrs. Con Smith, of Mt. Vernon, Texas, brother and sister of Mrs. Hair, wife of 
the deceased, were present at the funeral services, as well as many others from various cities.
