FAIR, Christopher  - Greenfield Township
===========================================================================
Christopher Fair was reared in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, where he was
married in 1864, February 16, to Miss Amanda Baker.  He was born February
12, 1842, in Holmes County, Ohio, and received a common education, while
assisting on the home farm.  He began for himself at the age of twenty, and
worked two years for $10.50 per month.  Soon after marrying, he came to
this county and lived for one and a half years on a rented farm in this
township.  Then with the pecuniary aid of his mother, Rachel Fair, he was
enabled to purchase 282 acres of land, where they now reside.  The farm has
been divided between them, Mr. Fair owning the portion where the buildings
stand.  Mr. Fair's parents were native of Pennsylvania; his father,
Christopher Fair, died in Tuscarawas County, Ohio.  Mrs. Fair's parents,
Absalom and Mary Baker, were also natives of the Keystone State; her mother
died in Stark County, Ohio, and her father is a resident of this county.
There are eight children in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Fair, viz.: Sherman,
Doras, Henry, Viola, Benjamin, Hattie, Oliver and Ella.
