Mrs. Belle Fair, Former Randolph Christian, Dies
Friends in Randolph County have received word of the death November 9th in Independence, Kan., of Mrs. Belle McDaniel Fair, daughter of the late John and Martha Walden McDaniel, pioneer residents of Randolph County.
Mrs. Fair was born and reared in what is now the Westhues Farm, three miles north of Moberly. In about 1893 she moved with her parents to Kansas, where in 1898 she was married to Clayton Fair, a businessman in Independence. She lived there ever since.
They were the parents of two daughters, both of who died in their early 20s. One was survived by a baby son, whom Mrs. Fair reared. Mr. Fair died a few years after the daughters, and the grandson reared by Mrs. Fair was killed last March in an explosion in an industrial plant in Kansas City, leaving his grandmother with her only survivor, a great grandson.
Mrs. Fair visited here last March with friends and family, and while here, spent a great deal of time knitting socks for soldiers, telling friends she was trying to do her bit to help out as long as she could.
She was an active worker in the Presbyterian Church in Independence.
