Charles C. Ayars, eldest son of John Wister and Mary Bowen Davis Ayars, was born at Shiloh, N. J., March 12, 1844, and died at his home at Dodge Center, Minn., July 20, 1932, at the age of 88 years.
When twelve years of age he came with his parents to Freeborn County, Minn., where he spent sixty years on the farm. Here he was baptized by Rev. A. B. Burdick, and united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Trenton, Minn., in 1862. He remained a faithful member there until he united with the Dodge Center Church, in 1916.
On June 7, 1866, he was married to Susan Maria Pierce, who survives him with their five children - Flora E. Ayars, Lewis U., Laura M. Bond, all of Dodge Center, Arthur W. of Matawan, Minn.; Florence E. Hollister of Medford, Minn. There are also two sisters - Anna M. Ayars of Dodge Center; Alma Larson of Albert Lea, Minn., and three grandchildren.
Mr. Ayars was one of the early pioneers of Minnesota. He helped build the first elevator in St. Paul, and the first livery barn in Minneapolis. He shared in the growth of Freeborn County from the very beginning and held many responsible township offices; he was justice of the peace twenty-five years. Last June, Mr. and Mrs. Ayars celebrated their sixty-sixth wedding anniversary.
Farewell services were held in the Seventh Day Baptist Church by Rev. J. Thornell; interment was in Riverside Cemetery.
