The Perry County Democrat (Bloomfield, PA), 23 Jul 1930 (Wed), page 3
Oscar S. Adair, of Center, died on Wednesday, July 16, 1930. He had worked, as he had been doing for over eight years, on the State Highway until the beginning of May, at which time he had an attack of influenza. Complications developed and on Monday, July 14, he was taken to the Carlisle Hospital, where it was found that his condition was so far advanced that there was no hope of recovery. On Wednesday he was removed to the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Gutshall, of Beavertown, near Blain, where the family hoped to give him the best of attention during his remaining days, but death came that evening at 7.30 o'clock.
Oscar S. Adair was the youngest child of William and Sarah E. (Wolf) Adair and was born on the old homestead, near Center, on December 3, 1902, and was consequently aged at his death 27 years, 7 months and 13 days. His father died some years ago, but his mother and the following brothers and a sister survive: Charles W., of Center; Niles E., of Voorhies, Iowa; and Lucy B. (Mrs. John H. Shumaker), of Loysville. In 1924 he was married to Margaret Gutshall, of Blain, who survives with one daughter, Ruth.
Mr. Adair was a young man of many sterling qualities, possessing all the attributes of true manhood. A man of strong convictions and of unwavering integrity, he was ever a loyal friend, a dutiful son, a loving father and a devoted husband. Along all these lines he will be greatly missed, but we feel reconciled in the belief that his life well spent, will have its reward and although his untimely taking off in the prime of life seems hard to understand, yet only the Infinite knows why, and we can feel that the loss to church and neighborhood, to friends and family, must be gain to him. In politics, he was a Republican, yet ever ready to condemn the wrong and commend the good wherever he saw it.
Funeral services were held in the Lutheran Church in Blain on Saturday, July 19, at 10.30 o'clock. His pastor, the Rev. Carl G. H. Ettlich, of Center Presbyterian Church, officiating. Interment was in the new cemetery at Blain.
