Michael O'Hair Portrait/Photo/Image
Several O'Hair cousins are trading emails concerning the authenticity of the Michael O'Hair (1749-1813) image that appears in the out-of-print book,The Michael O'Hair Family by Virginia Brann (1957). We know that, at the time of Michael's death, photography was not in use. Is this image a photo of a painting or a drawing? Is it perhaps a photo of someone related to Michael but a generation or more down the family line? Frankly, we just don't know and we are hoping that someone may shed some light on this perplexing question. Are there copies still in existence? Were the images mass produced and distributed? We will be asking these questions at the upcoming O'Hair Reunions in KY and IN. The KY Reunion will be held August 6, 2011, in Clay City, KY at the AMVETS building, 710 Lake Drive, Clay City, KY. Hours 10 am to 4 pm. The 138th Annual James E.M. O'Hair Reunion will be held in Cloverdale, IN at the Stardust Hills Clubhouse on August 27, 2011, from 1 pm.
