Irvin Glade Bair Obituary
Double funeral services for Irvin Bair and Ted H. Strong, victims of a tragic accident near Sacramento, California, Saturday, were held Thursday afternoon in the Alpine ward chapel. Bishop Edward Burgess officiated.
The two youths, newly enlisted army privates, were killed Saturday in a leap from a train near the Sacramento air repair depot where they were stationed. News of the tragedy stunned the communities of Alpine and American Fork.
Coroner Jack Garibaldi at Sacramento said the youths died of fractured skulls when they apparently attempted to jump from the moving train. They had been to Roseville, a short distance from the depot, for the evening and were returning by train, the coroner said.
A Southern Pacific railroad company inspector found the bodies which were identified by Private Rodney Moon of the Seventh Transport squadron, to which the young men were attached.
The youths were natives and longtime residents of Alpine, and had been virtually inseparable companions almost all their lives. They enlisted together, on September 6, and were transferred to the Sacramento depot.
Both attended schools in Alpine and American Fork, and were active to the LDS church.
Ted H. Strong was born in Alpine, on April 13, 1922, a son of Claude and Mildred Hall Strong. He was graduated from the American Fork high school last spring. He is survived by his mother, of American Fork; four brothers, Lloyd E. and Douglas Strong of American Fork; Marion L. Strong of California; and Ray E. Strong of Alpine; four sisters, Beulah, Nona, Lillian and Lloydece Strong, all of American Fork; and one grandmother, Mrs. Anna E. Hall of American Fork.
Irvin G. Bair was born in Alpine in June, 1922, a son of Joseph Roy and Lyle Healey Bair. He attended the American Fork high school until 1939, when he moved t to Glasgow, Montana, with his parents, and was graduated from Glasgow high school last spring. Surviving are his parents, of Glasgow; four brothers, Lloyd, Joseph and Jack Bair of Alpine, and Evan Bair, now on a mission in Tennessee; two sisters, Mrs. Beryll Carlisle of Alpine, and Miss Carroll Bair of Glasgow; and four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Healey of Alpine, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Bair of Woods Cross, Utah.
The interments were in the Alpine cemetery.
