"At least one member of his family followed Robert in the brick making business, This obituary appeared in the "Courier" on the 9th of February 1918. “The many friends of Mr Thomas Adair, a former resident of Black Hill will regret to hear of his death, which took place yesterday at the residence of his niece, Mrs J. Craddock, Sturt Street. The deceased, who was 63 years of age leaves a family of three sons and two daughters. In the seventies, the deceased who was a Brickmaker by occupation was engaged in his calling on the reserve now occupied by the Black Hill Progress Association since when he visited various parts of Victoria and several of the States and he was well known in the brick making game. He was of a genial disposition and possessed a fund of knowledge of reminiscences of early Ballarat and district. Mr Alec Adair of “The Courier” linotype staff is a brother of the deceased.”
