FORT SMITH WEEKLY NEW ERA, February 23, 1882
DEATH OF MR. J. T. AYERS
It is our painful duty to notice the death of Mr. J. T. Ayers, an attache of the U.S. Marshal's office, yesterday at 1:30 p.m.
Mr. Ayers was preparing to start out on an extended trip in the Indian Territory in the discharge of his duty, but was so unfortunate as to be wounded by the accidental discharge of his pistol which necessitated the amputation of his left leg, above the knee. His prospects for ultimate recovery were flattering, until Tuesday evening, when a change for the worse set in which has resulted in his death. Mr. Ayers was the youngest of the Ayers' boys, and commissioned as United States Deputy Marshal August 2nd, 1881, and was known as one of the bravest of the force. His last arrests were in the Kiowa Country where he arrested three parties charged with murder. His coolness and courage in making these arrests was complimented by the U. S. Officers at Fort Sill, Indian Territory.
He was a gentleman and died a brave man, hoping for a happier life in the world to come, and mourned by a large circle of friends who tender the most heart felt sympathy to the family of Mr. C. C. Ayers, at whose residence he died.
