James Adair Dead.
James Adair, one of the early settlers of the county, died Tuesday at his home two miles west of town at the age of 60 years from an internal abcess which affected his lungs. Funeral services were conducted by the G.A.R. Post of this city and he was laid to rest with military honors in the Thayer Cemetery at ten o'clock Wednesday.
James Adair was born June 14, 1843, we believe in Wisconsin (see note). His war record was far above the average. In August 1861 when still under the age of 18 be enlisted In Co. D, 7th Wisconsin Infantry, where he served faithfully until March 1862 when he was discharged in the field near Fairfax Seminary, Va., for disabilities. Recovering from his sickness he reenlisted in Co. G, 22 Wisconsin Infantry, in August 1862 and was discharged after the war in 1865, having served in two well known fighting Wisconsin regiments which saw much service at the front.
Mr. Adair had been ailing for a number of years and had been confined to his room for about five months. He leaves a wife and one daughter.
He was a pensioner receiving $12 per month under the new law. Mr. Adair was one of the very earliest settlers in this vicinity taking up the claim where he died from the government in an early day. He was a quiet unassuming man making the living for himself and family by hard work on his farm. (note: 1900 census shows birth date as Jun. 1842, born in Canada).
