Monroe was the son of Richard Ayars and Hannah Clark Ayars.
WM. M. AYARS PASSES AWAY
Succumbs in Fatal Illness at the Home of His Sister Less Than Two Weeks After His Return From California.
FUNERAL HELD ON TUESDAY.
A little less than two weeks ago Wm. Munroe Ayars arrived from California. He died at the hone of his sister, Mrs. W. E. Kenyon, at Smiths Mill, Sunday morning at eight o'clock.
Some months ago Mr. Ayars was stricken with pneumonia from which he never fully recovered. After a prolonged illness he was enabled to undertake the trip to Minnesota. His one desire evidently was to greet his relatives here and to be among them before the end should come. The pathetic ending of life's journey may well be emphasized in the statement that he came hone to die. This having been accomplished he was resigned to his fate and thus he passed away happily and in perfect contentment.
Mr. Ayars was born in Shiloh, N. J., January 10th, 1848. He was 69 years, 8 months and 21 days of age. When about twelve years of age, he came to Minnesota, where the family settled in Freeborn County. They resided here for many years, but later removed to Wilton in this county, Mr. Ayars remained with his parents until the year 1875 when he went to California and where he has since resided. For many years he was foreman of a large cattle ranch and later was in the livery business at Maderia.
His marriage occurred in California but his wife passed away seventeen years ago. He is survived by one brother, H. D. Ayars, of this place, and three sisters, Mrs. W. E. Kenyon, of Smiths Mill, Mrs. G. J. Enteman, of Claremont and Mrs. E. F. Main, of Telimook, Oregon.
Since leaving here forty-one years ago, Mr. Ayars had only visited Minnesota once, twenty-three years ago when he came to attend the funeral of his mother. But his personal characteristics and his activities in life are known to his more intimate friends and are reflected in the universal esteem in which he was held among his almost life long associates in his adopted state. Many kindly words come from his associates and friends there, words couched in terms of the highest praise as to his manly qualities and sterling worth. These encomiums fittingly harmonize with his character and life when as a young man he resided in Minnesota. His death is sincerely mourned by the friends and acquaintances of his early youth here and by hosts of friends and acquaintances in his former home in California.
The funeral was conducted yesterday afternoon at the Methodist Church in this place, Rev. C. E. Morse, officiating, and the remains laid to rest in the Janesville cemetery.
