Obituary Wednesday, April 19, 1911 The Columbus Journal Columbus, Neb., Pg 5 David Blair, for 30 years a resident of this community, died at his home north-east of Silver Creek last Monday morning. His death was caused by apoplexy he having been stricken down the Saturday before. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. G. M. Couffer at the home at 10 o'clock Wednesday and the burial was in the Silver Creek cemetery during the worst of that day's storm. Note: The Methodist Church has burned down twice since the first church was built. Many records did not survive and there are gaps in available information. There are no church records available for Nancy or husband David Blair. Phone interview on July 31, 2012 Reverend Johnston, Methodist Church Silver Creek, NE. Currently there is no headstone to denote David's grave-site. It is deduced through the Silver Creek Cemetery receipt book that son James Edgar Blair on October 31, 1911 purchased for the sum of $15.00 two lots as the price per lot was $7.50 each. The lots were probed some years back and no casket was felt. However bodies at the time were buried in furniture crates and wrapped in sheets or clokes. It is surmised this may be the case and little remains are left in the grave. July 31, 2012 Phone interview with Erma Grosch, Sexton Silver Creek Cemetery Silver Creek, NE
