"RODERICK W. AYRES
Roderick William Ayres, son of Buenos and Sarah Ayres, was born in Defiance county, Ohio, April 26, 1848, and passed in the Great Beyond from his residence at Allerton, Iowa, Tuesday morning, January 10, 1922, at the age of 73 years, 8 months and 14 days.
Mr. Ayres was one of a family of seven children - six sons and one daughter. His sister and four brothers preceeded him in death.
When quite young his parents moved to Wisconsin and when he was about five years of age they removed to Henry county, Ill., where he grew to manhood. On February 12, 1873 [1874], he was united in marriage with Miss Sadie Inglefield, of Knoxville, Iowa, and they made their home in Illinois. November 1st, 1873 [1874], his wife was called from him by death.
December 27, 1876, he was again married to Miss Edith M. Swain, of Geneseo, Ill. To this union nine children were born, five of whom are living. They are Mrs. Sadie Miner, of Bussey; Mrs. Grace Halphill, of Corydon, Iowa; J. Dwight Ayres, of Beaumont, Texas; Harry S. Ayres, of Mt. Iola, Kan; and Royce W. Ayres, of Donna, Texas.
Mr. Ayres lived in Henry county, Illinois, until February, 1881 when he moved with his family to Sioux City, Iowa, where they lived for two years after which they moved to a farm near Bussey, Iowa, where he resided for several years. After a long residence in Bussey where he made many friends, he removed to Kansas where he remained for four years. For the seven years preceding his death he made his residence in Allerton, Iowa.
Mr. Ayres was a man of sterling character, of high and noble principles, a loving and affectionate husband and father and a true and honored neighbor and friend. He was a man of genial disposition, who made friends wherever he went. In illness and afflictions he was patient, never murmuring nor complaining. His home was always a place of hospitality and genial fellowship.
Mr. Ayres was a member of the Bussey Lodge of the I. O. O. F. of which order he was a consistent member. Six of his brothers of this lodge acted as pall bearers.
Besides his devoted wife and five children he leaves to mourn his departure two brothers, Mr. R. O. Ayres, of Pomona, Calif.; and Mr. J. C. T. Ayres, of Gardiner, Kan. who was present at the funeral. With these there are ten grandchildren and a large circle of friends who will cherish the memory of this good man as long as memory should last.
The beautiful floral offerings which bedecked his casket were evidence of the high esteem and deep affection in which the deceased was held by all who knew him.
One more link of time and earthly fellowship and friendship and human ties is broken only to be united to the higher, nobler and sweeter bonds of our glorious immortality.
Go then, loved one, brother and friend, on thy journey to that far off home from whence no traveler returns, and we will cherish thy memory here until we meet again over there.
The funeral services were held Thursday, January 12, at Bussey, Iowa, from the M. E. church, Rev. H. D. Glassburn, now of Mitchellville, Iowa, and former pastor of Mr. Ayres at Allerton, officiated. Interment in the Bussey cemetery."
