Blair was a prominent citizen of Warrensville in the mid-nineteenth century, having served as both clerk and treasurer of the township in the post-Civil War period. When the City of Cleveland acquired the Blair farm for cemetery purposes, the house was moved up close to the road and was used as an office for Highland Park Cemetery.Category
