Description	:	Cenotaph here Alvin H. Haire is my maternal grandfather. He died of leukemia (I don't know what type) four years before I was born, so I never knew him. He and my grandmother, V. Leona Haire, divorced before my mother was born, and she had very little opportunity to know him before his death. Though she wanted to great to know him, his premature death cut short the chance to do so. I know of him mostly from my grandmother, a daughter from his first marriage and his sole daughter from his third marriage, which is not listed... Read More	Cenotaph here Alvin H. Haire is my maternal grandfather. He died of leukemia (I don't know what type) four years before I was born, so I never knew him. He and my grandmother, V. Leona Haire, divorced before my mother was born, and she had very little opportunity to know him before his death. Though she wanted to great to know him, his premature death cut short the chance to do so. I know of him mostly from my grandmother, a daughter from his first marriage and his sole daughter from his third marriage, which is not listed here. My mother is his only surviving offspring. In fact, Alvin Haire is buried on the property in West Virginia where he lived and shared with his third wife. He was sort of a "hippie" of his day, long before the term was coined, and had a hard time finding his calling and niche in life. I have no doubt that today he would be diagnosed as having ADHD. He was a teacher, preacher, printer, writer and beekeeper. His family of origin in Florence was embarrassed by his lifestyle. When he came home by train to visit they would meet him with a change of clothes to change into at the station. When he died, for the sake of respectability, they bought a casket, held a service and buried the empty casket in the cemetery just outside of New Florence. I've visited the grave once and took pictures. If I come across them I will post them. Perhaps some day I can add the actual grave to this site.(contributor-InkyGuy #49192379)
