Bellefonte Republican, 29 Mar 1888
At Unionville, on Tuesday, March 20, occurred the death of James N. BLAIR, son 
of Susan and Robert BLAIR, aged 14 years.  This death occurred at 12 minutes 
before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the interment being in the Upper Union 
graveyard.  He was a bright, lovable lad and surviving friends will deeply 
mourn his death."
Another item in the same issue: "We have heretofore noted the death of James N. 
BLAIR, son of Susan and Robert BLAIR, which occurred in Unionville, on Tuesday, 
March 20.  The funeral occurred at 1 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and the 
burial was in the Upper Union Cemetery, at Unionville.  Surviving friends 
deeply mourn the death of James at an age so full of hope and inspiration for 
the future:

Our darling James, it is for thee, These tears of sorrow rain,
Death to thee is victory, And loss to us is gain,

E'en as they fall I feel thy hand    Laid softly on thy head,
And hear thy gentle sweet command, 'No tears for thee to shed.'

Oh loving heart, so true, so kind, Oh hand so warm, so free -
Where shall we turn again to find    A guide, a friend like thee.


Additional Comments:
James' parents were Robert F. BLAIR & Susanna LAIRD.
