Death of Maj. J.H. McBlair
Maj. J.H. McBlair, one of the old residents of the city, died yesterday at his residence, 2027 I street. He was in his 79th year, and while his health during the past six months has not been as good as usual, still there was nothing in his condition to alarm his friends. Yesterday about noon he laid down on a lounge, saying that he did not feel very well. In an hour afterward he had passed quietly away. Maj. McBlair at the breaking out of the war organized a company for the defense of this city. He was subsequently made paymaster in the army and served through the war. He was a man of many lovable qualities and had a wide circle of friends.
