Bair, mother’s maiden name Martha Adams, both born in Ky, cause of death influenza, informant Booker Bair, Leadingham, Ky, burial in Bair Cemetery.
All the occurrences of “Bair” on the certificate are oddly written, as if they were orginally Baar, and then someone came in and blacked in the middle of the second ‘a’ and dotted it.
