FUNERAL OF JESUP BLAIR
Distinguished Citizen the Victim of Cerebral Hemorrhage
The funeral of Mr. Jesup Blair, who died Tuesday at his home, 12 Lafayette square, will be held tomorrow at 11 o'clock ...
... Mr. Blair's death was sudden. He had complained in the morning of a slight pain in the chest, but it was not of sufficient consequence to interfere with his customary exercise. He went out for a walk, returning at luncheon time. At the table he was in his usual good spirits and was chatting gaily, when suddenly his face became pale and he fell over. Medical aid was at once summoned, but it was too late to render effective assistance. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr. Blair was one of the well-known residents of the city, where he had lived all his life. He was unmarried, and lived with his mother, Mrs. Mary Jesup Blair. His father, James Blair, who was an officer in the navy, died many years ago. He was a nephew of Montgomery Blair, who was once a prominent figure in public life.
It is a singular coincidence that a sister of Mr. Blair, Mrs. Wheeler, the wife of Major George M. Wheeler, died in New York February 4, also very suddenly. The surviving sister, Mrs. Violet Blair Janin, and Mrs. Blair, his mother, were with Mr. Blair when he died.
