The DaUy Paraons Eclipse, in noticing the death of Judge Ayres says: Since the death of Mrs. Ayres last fall, the judge has never regained his elasticity of spirits. The loss of his wife and the breaking up of his family seemed to overpower and crush him, and his mental distress was ever to be seen by the careful observer. Judge Ayres had many friends in Parsons who will deeply regret his taking off.
Christiana Mabee was Alexander's first wife, and the sister of his second wife, Emily Mabee.
