| 1911 Barr Reunion. Photo provided by Susan Rogers, great-great-great-granddaughter of Elizabeth Barr (sister of Hamilton Barr/daughter of John Barr.) Susan scanned it in 7 sections due to the size, and I stitched it back together, so some of faces might not align perfectly. |

I was so excited to see these pictures. My grandfather was Charles Adair. The boy he is holding I believe is my brother Eddy. The picture of all the siblings was taken in 1942. I have grandpas diary and he talks about that reunion. He died just before I was born. I have the large picture of the Barr reunion and my mother is sitting in the front by the buggy. Her mother is behind he and her brothers on her right.I don’t believe my grandfather could make it. Were you at the 1980 reunion at Jerry Adairs? I have some family group shots that I don’t know who they are.One group is a little girl about 4 or 5 standing in front of a lady(mother?)with dark hair and beside her is an older lady with salt and pepper hair and glassed and beside her is a lady with short blond hair and next to her is a tall man with glasses. A couple of them look like people in your pictures. I also have one of Aunt Graces paintings and a niece has another one. I enjoy genealogy and was so glad to see the pictures you have. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Mary,
Thanks for the information about the photo! Yes, we were at the 1980 reunion. I’ll post a picture of us; I was 12 that summer. I see you used to be on Ancestry.com. Are you still on there?

Hello,my name is Celeste cross-fox,my mother’s farther (my Grandfather) is opal Adair.He has family in Marquette MI . His farther is buried in Marquette.I don’t Remember his name. I was real surprised when I saw the pictures. Thank you for letting me see them . I am not sure when he was born and when he died ‘I will have to look more in to this information Thank you I hope to talk more about our family . My Grandfather move to Chicago and did a number of jobs,He was a type setter and a few others .He worked for Al Capone ,as one of his Bookies..well as I learn more I will let you know.
Celeste, I found an Opal Lee Adair, born 10 APR 1903 in Michigan, died 17 JUL 1988 in Merritt Island, Florida. His father was Harley Elmer Adair 1879-1959. I found a family tree on Ancestry, and my initial searches didn’t reveal a connection between your Adair family and mine. My Adair ancestors primarily lived in Pennsylvania and Illinois. The Opal Adair ancestors lived primarily in Ohio and Indiana. There still may be a connection, however, since I see in your tree George Lee Adair 1797-1854 was born in Pennsylvania and some of my ancestors were born in PA in the same time period. 🙂
