Mr. Cornelius Blair, an old citizen of Crawfordsville died at Minneapolis this week where he and his wife were visiting their daughter. Mr. Blair was an old citizen of Montgomery County.  He is a cousin of Mr. Aaron Blair now of Indianapolis and the family to which he belonged is an old and singularly large one.  Until a few years ago Mr. Blair was a large garden farmer.  He was a man of unusually beautiful character and his many kind deeds made him loved by the community in which he had resided for so long.  He was past his 60th year and a member of the Baptist Church. - kbz
