Mrs. T. H. McNair Passes
The sudden death of Mrs. T. H. McNair, the night of Tuesday, Dec. 23, brought deep sorrow to her devoted family, a large circle of relatives, and an unusually wide circle of friends. Mrs. McNair was one of this city's most admired and beloved women, a resident here since her youth, and many homes were shadowed through the sense of loss felt at her passing. Mrs. McNair had been engaged in household duties and happily anticipating the coming for Christmas of members of the family from a distance, when she was striken about 5:30 Tuesday afternoon, just as her son, Mr. John McNair, and nephew, City Tax Collector J. Warren McNair, had come home for supper--in fact her son was near enough to catch her in his arms as she collapsed. Mrs. McNair was conscious for some time after being striken, but lapsed into unconsciousness and died about 10:30 Tuesday night.
Her husband, Dr. T. H. McNair, virtually an invalid of late was also with her in her last hours, as were a number of relatives living in Brookhaven.
Mrs. McNair's younger daughter, Mrs. Ray Hamilton, and her husband, of Woodville, arrived about ten minutes after Mrs. McNair's stroke. Her elder daughter, Mrs. Grover C. Thames of Shreveport, already en route home by train could not be reached by telegraph, and learned of her mother's death only upon her arrival in Brookhaven in the early morning of Christmas Eve.
Mrs. T. H. McNair was reared in Bogue Chitto and in her youth, upon her marriage to Dr. T. H. McNair of Brookhaven, became a resident of this city. The marriage took place Dec. 22, about 43 years ago, Mrs. McNair's death occurring the day following the anniversary date. Mrs. McNair's maiden name was Ella Thompson.
In the early years of the marriage the house at the corner of South Jackson Street and Warren Avenue was built for Dr. and Mrs. McNair and occupied by them until a few years ago, when they sold it to the present occupants, Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Alford, Dr. and Mrs. McNair building on an adjoining lot.
Mrs. McNair's fine intelligence, beauty of character and interesting personality won her the esteem and affection of virtually her entire circle of acquaintance. She was devoted wife and mother, loyal to those related by kinship or marriage, and a true friend. She was a Christian whose interest in the spiritual seemed to grow with advancing years. Until her own health was impaired, and until her husband's health declined, Mrs. McNair was one of the most active members of the Presbyterian church, and until the last she was faithful in her attendance at church services and constant in her interest.
The funeral was held at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, at the Presbyterian Church of which Mrs. McNair was a member. The pastor, Rev. H. V. Lofquist, a former pastor, Rev. W. H. Hill of Camden, Miss., and Dr. B. F. Jones participated in the beautiful and impressive service.
Inspiring tributes to Mrs. McNair, and the reading of favorite passages of Scripture were given by Revs. Hill and Lofquist, and Dr. Jones made an invocation. The choir sang with accompaniment by Mrs. E. M. Bee.
There were lovely floral offerings and a large attendance of relatives and friends.
Pall bearers were Messrs. J. E. Seavey, O. H. Hartman, E. M. Bee, and S. E. Moreton, and Drs. N. R. Thompson and H. L. Watts.
Interment was made in Rosehill cemetery.
In addition to her husband, and the three children above mentioned, Mrs. McNair is survived by a sister, Mrs. Will Lewis of Tylertown, and two brothers, Dr. Felix Thompson of Bogue Chitto, and Dr. Chas. Thompson of Wesson.
Unbounded sympathy goes out to those bereaved in the death of Mrs. McNair.
