He was a member of St. Paul’s Episcopal church in Pomona, the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen of America, and the Loyal Star of America, an auxiliary of that brotherhood, in Savanna.

Mr. and Mrs. Airhart would have celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary in October this year.

Besides his wife, Mrs. Louella Airhart, he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Juanita Morris of Cincinnati, O.
