ALONZO FAIRCHILD
1934
  
Pneumonia Victim at Age of 53
  
Alonzo Fairchild, age 53 years, died at his home at Winifred, Ky.
on February 8.  He had been ill for several months, but was
recently stricken with pneumonia and was not able to withstand the
attack.
  
“Lon” as he was familiarly known, was the son of the late Rev.
Miller and Sarah Daniel Fairchild.  He was a devout member of the
United Baptist Church and taught school in Johnson County and later
took up farming as an occupation.  He was married to Emma Cordial,
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Green Cordial of Ashland, Ky.
  
To this union were born nine children, G.V., R.C., Edward, Lena and
Julia, at home, and Mrs. Willie Melvin and Mrs. Carl Stafford of
Paintsville, and Mrs. Edward Salyer of Kerz, Ky.
  
The Rev. H.G. Sowards said at the funeral of one of Johnson
County’s illustrious citizens, “No greater tribute can be paid any
man than to say he was a good man.” Lon Fairchild was a good man.
