The story of Pierre Peter BLAIS-BLAIR |
|
|
March 24, 1881 | LF | I have made arrangements to accommodate persons wishing to visit my maple sugar camp in West Little Falls, and will give them all the sugar they can eat also their dinner for fifty cents each, or one dollar a couple. Signed Simon Blair, Sen. | Blair, Simeon | |
Nov. 21, 1893 | LF | Jerry, Mitchell and Peter Blair of Pike Creek returned last night from a deer hunting trip in the vicinity of Thunder lake and Moose river in the Northern part of the state. They killed twenty-three deer, thirteen of which were sold in Brainerd and the remainder disposed of in this city. | Blair, Mitchell, Jerry | |
July 1, 1895 | Eli Blais and Miss Virginia Lagesse were married Sunday afternoon at the French Catholic church. | Blair, Andre | ||
Oct. 24, 1895 | LF | L.F. City | Father Against Son – Simon Blair, Sr., who lives in Pike Creek town, about five miles west of the city swore out a warrant for the arrest of his son, Jerry on a charge of embezzlement. The young man was found by the officers and placed under arrest at about 6 o’clock last evening. It appears that the young man has been employed by his father on his farm for the last two years, and claims that he has coming in wages something near $350, which was not forthcoming. His father yesterday entrusted him with a considerable amount of dressed pork and farm produce, which the young man was to bring to the market. He carried out that part of the program, according to accounts and pocketed the proceeds, claiming that he was going to keep it and apply it on his wage account. It is also stated that there was a mortgage on part of the property which was sold, and that the sale was made by Mr. Blair, Sr., for the purpose of paying it off. He made a demand on the boy for the money, which was refused, hence the arrest. When the young man was arrested there was no money to be found on his person. The parties interested are now engaged in making a settlement, and it is probable that the case will not come up for trial. It is understood that Cyril has agreed to give up the money, the amount is near $100 if his father will give a mortgage on his farm for the amount of wages due him. | Blair, Simeon |
Oct. 25, 1895 | LF | L.F.

INDIAN THREAT MAY HAVE BEEN FIGMENT OF IMAGINATION Five Generations Gather to Help Mrs. Blair Celebrate Birthday No. 90 Planning a big shindig for their mother, Mrs. John Blair, in celebration of her ninetieth birthday anniversary, her children took her to the family farm to rest up for the event. When they returned for her they found Mrs. Blair in the height of her glory, cooking for a harvest crew. Mrs. Blair reluctantly gave up her place at the range to go to the beauty saloon to be prettied up for the celebration. The
Blair picnic was held Sunday in a Pasco park. On hand to wish her many
happy returns were her four children, 13 of her 20 grandchildren, and 19
great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren. More than 60
persons attended.Her daughters are Mrs. Walter (Mae) Masiker, Spokane;
Mrs. Earl (Rose) Kalk, Pasco, and Mrs. Leon L. (Estella) Bailie, Block
20. Her son, F. Clarence Blair, came from San Diego Anna Wieczorek was born in Germany July 27, 1872. When she was 18 months old she migrated to the United States with her parents, who took up a homestead near Little Falls, Minn. On April 14, 1890, she became the bride of John Blair. Thirteen years later, in 1903, they heeded the enthusiastic beckoning of Blair's brother and came west to Washington's agricultural wonderland. The Blair's bought Arthus Phillippay's homestead north of Kahlotus and settled there. After the Midwest plains, Mrs. Blair was terrified by the hill after hill of this country, and lived in constant fear of Indian attack. In short, she didn't like the bill of goods her husband had bought. And when the winds came, and she had to sweep her home with a shovel instead of a broom, she really longed for good old Minnesota. But by 1908, when the Blair's bought an adjacent half section and built thereon, and added such niceties as a well (on the second try), Mrs. Blair began to warm up to her new locale. There hadn't been any Indian massacres and she had learned those rolling hills produced fine grain. Also, by that time, Mrs. Blair had found that although Indians hadn't materialized some wonderful neighbors had. The community dances were never to be forgotten events. Laden with food the families would go to some friends home, dance until around midnight, knock off for food, then resume dancing until time to head back home for the morning chores. Estella said her mother taught several young men to dance thus initiating them in an avenue of entertainment she dearly loved and usually starting them on a road to romance. Mrs. Blair said the Kelso boys, Roy and Carl, were the only two she remembered teaching, but admitted there may have been others. The people of the area had some wonderful dances in the hall over Lee Kirby's store in Kahlotus, Mrs. Blair recalled. Kirby was the father of the present Kahlotus merchant, Vester and the store was across the street from the present Kirby building. Another fond memory Mrs. Blair retains is cooking for the harvest crew. Although their farm was comparatively small, she cooked for up to 17 men on the place. In addition, Blair had a steam powered machine with which he did custom threshing as well as his own. The Blair's also had a combination cook and dining wagon which went with the thresher from farm to farm. Mrs. Blair did the cooking on the wagon one year, but thereafter delegated it to her daughters. "At first we had one long table down the center of the wagon," said Mrs. Blair. "When we put out pie the men at one end would get it all. It never reached the other end. "John fixed that by making three separate tables. Placed them as closely together as possible and we could seat 12. We put a pie at each table and usually all got a piece. The Blair girls slept on straw alongside the wagon. I'd set the table, plates bottom side up, before going to bed," recounted Mrs. Estella, "and my sister would let me sleep while she cooked breakfast. That was wonderful." Mrs. Blair was a charter member of the Kahlotus Grange, and also of Sandhills Grange, when it was organized, the family said. Mr. and Mrs. Blair celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, April 14, 1940, but Mr. Blair was not well at the time. He died a month later, on May 16. Tony Mosbrucker, who came as a farm hand, stayed on to work for Mrs. Blair until she decided to move to Pasco. Since then she as leased the place to Mosbrucker. Mrs. Blair lives on the third floor of Isabel Apartments in Pasco. Sometimes she trudges up and down the stairs several times, especially on Sundays for church services. Her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Kalk live across the hall in the same apartment. Members of the Blair can came from far and near for Mrs. Blair's birthday party and the foodstuffs they brought made the park tables groan. A granddaughter, Mrs. Earl Bangle, came from Enumclaw. In her group were three teen-age children, Bette, Earl and Mary, plus a grown son, Arnold Dieringer, and his daughter, Linda. Other grand and/or great grandchildren included: Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Ferry, Spokane; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Blauert and children, Carl, Karen and Kathy, Spangle; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Love and sons, Kerry and Dennis, Richland.Mr. and Mrs. Marion Jenson, Duane and Juanita, Granger; Mrs. Charles Stinehart and son, Robert Toppenish; Mrs. Rosemary Stephens, Happy Camp, Calif., Mr. and Mrs. Dale Blair, Duane, Janna, Karel, Kim and Gail, Spokane. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Blair, Gary and Linda and Mr. and Mrs. John Blair, all of Naches. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blair, Jerry and Larry, Monroe; Mrs. Maude Blair and sons, James and William, Yakima; Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Blauert and son, Garth, Washtucna. Garth is a great-great-grandchild. Nieces Mrs. Dierlam, Pasco; Mrs. Nellie Thomas and Mrs. Laura Schmeizer, both of Kennewick.Old friends Mrs. Sara Burns and Mrs. Chris Hille, Washtucna. The three son-in-laws of Mrs. Blair, Walter Masiker, Earl Kalk and Leon L. Bailie, attended with their wives. |
