Robert Adair is dead.

ROBERT AGAR is dead,
Last night at S.35. after a long strug-
gle against an insduous disease, one OF
the best known and most popular men in
all Houston breathed his last. His death.
while by no means unexpected, came in
the nature of sad shock to those who
knew and loved him, and many tear was
shed and many a word of grief was spoken
when it became known that he had finally
passed away. The end came when his
wife and daughters and other members OF
his family were gathered at his bedside
Every effort had been made to save his
life during the months he had been i'll,
but all were futile. Tender loving nurs-
ing and the skillful ministrations of the
medical men in charge were OF no avail
against the resisitless onslaught of the
dread disease, known as "galloping"
consumption, against which the sick man
had contended for go long.
There were few men, if any, in Houston
who We're better known or better liked
than Robert Adair, or Bob" as he was
more familiary known. He had been iden-
tilted with the progress of the city for so
long that ne had almost become part oil
1t, and his genial, sunny disposition and
his kindly nature had made friends for
him of all with whom he had come in
contact. His death is mourned on all
sides and bereaved members OF his family
have the sympathy and coincidence of al
most numberless friends and acquaint-
ances who feel that in his death they
have suffered an irreparable loss.
Ii was on account of his extreme ponG-
larty that he was rendered the office of
city assessor and collector and during
his continuation in that position he but
increased his popularity by his extreme
liberality. No friend in need ever went
TO Bob AdaIr and left him empty
handed. He was convivial to fault and
his ever happy. congenial temperament
was ever in evidence. Always happy and
iovial In his disposition. his life was like
a continuous ray OF sunshine, cheering by
its brightness all with whom he came in
contact But the warmth of his congenial
nature Is now cold in death and many a
heart will bleed today to learn that Bob
Adair whom everybody loved, is no more.
The deceased was born in Buffalo, y. Y.
on August "a, 1854, and was. therefore,
closely approaching his 45th birthday at
the time of his death He moved. with
his parents. to Chicago at the age OF I
years and received his education in the
public schools of that city. After finish
ing his school days. his first employment
was with an electrical instrument manu-
factory, which position he resigned to ac-
cept one with the Chicago office of the
New York Life Insurance company, with
whom he remained until the summer of
1875, when. accompanied by his brother
James II Adair, he came to Texas. land
