OBITUARY OF: Orlando Buenos AYRES
Died 27 March 1900.
Name of Newspaper: Unknown
Date of Newspaper: Unknown; about March/April 1900
"The funeral of Judge Orlando B. Ayres was held from his late residence 1019 Twenty-first street at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The remains will be shipped to Knoxville, his former home, tomorrow morning for interment and the service at that place will be under Masonic auspices. The house was filled to overflowing by the time the hour set for the funeral had arrived, with those who had known the deceased in life and who had gathered to pay the last tributes of respect to his earthly remains. The floral offerings were abundant and extremely beautiful. A quartet composed of Mrs Margaret Weber, Mrs. Metta Hills McCrae, Charles Rowen and Fred Condit furnished the music.
Court adjourned this afternoon and the legal profession was well represented at the funeral, while the lodge of which he was a member turned out almost en masse. Dr. A. B. Marshall, of the Central Presbyterian church, had charge of the services, and after scripture reading and prayer made a few remarks concerning the life of the deceased, he said: 'Mr. Ayres removed to Knoxville, Iowa, in 1864, where he associated with his brother-in-law, ex-Governor William M. Stone, in the law firm of Stone & Ayres, a firm known throughout the whole northwest. He lived in Des Moines for the past ten years. He has been noted for his kindly disposition, and his almost Chesterfield deportment. He was very considerate in his dealings and especially with the poor, and was particularly regarded by them as a friend. His last illness began six months ago with a stroke of paralysis, the immediate cause of his death being probably heart failure.'
Mr. Ayres was formerly a member of the Universalist church, and was at one time president of the state association. Since his residence in Des Moines, however, he was associated with the Central Presbyterian church.
The following memorial was issued by Assylum Temple Commandery No. 4, of which the deceased was a member:
Orlando B. Ayres was born at Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio, July 26, 1836. Came to Des Moines in 1890. Was admitted to the bar at Ottawa, Ill., in 1863; removed to Knoxville, Iowa, continuing the practice of his chosen profession until 1886, at which date was elected judge of the Fifth judicial district. He wasa member of Oriental Lodge No. 61 A. F. & A. M., and Tadmor Chapter No. 18 B. A. M., Knoxville, Iowa; received the order of the temple in Do Payne's Commandery No. 6, K. T., Oskaloosa, Iowa; united with Temple Commandery No. 4, K. T., by Demit, August 14, 1891.
He has been in ill health for some time, about the middle of November last visited Alpine, California, for the benefit of his health, but all in vain, he passed away peacefully March 27, 1900.
Upon the frontiers of the shadowy land,
We, pilgrims of eternal sorrow, stand;
What realm lies forward with its happier store,
Of forests green and deep,
Of valleys hushed in sleep.
And lakes most peaceful? 'Tis the land of Evermore.
Those whom we loved and lost so long ago,
Dwell in those cities, far from mortal woe,
Haunt those fresh woodlands, whence sweet carolings soar,
Eternal peace have they;
God wipes their tears away;
They drink that river of life which flows for Evermore."
He married 13 July 1864, Marion Co., Iowa to Anna Lavina "Annie" STONE, daughter of Truman F. STONE and Lavina NORTH. They had eleven (11) known children: Edward C., Helen, Augusta, Levi S., William Stone, Orlando Buenos JR, George N, Ransom Morgan, Chester Authur, Sheldon H, Warren T.
