Edgar Ayres was born in Cumberland County, New Jersey, March 17, 1827, and died in Oak, Ala, January 15, 1916.
At the age of sixteen he united with the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Shiloh, N. J. He was married to Miss Sarah F. Clawson, near Shiloh, in November, 1849, and the separation comes after sixty-six years of married life. She was but one day younger than her husband. In 1857, Mr. and Mrs. Ayres settled in Marshall County, Illinois, where they lived until 1865, when they removed to Peoria County. Eleven years later they moved to Morgan Park. This was their home until about two years ago, when they went to Alabama, and found a home with their son-in-law, John B. Saunders. Here Mr. Ayres died. He served Morgan Park as town clerk for eleven years, and was held in high esteem by his neighbors.
Besides Mrs. Ayres, he leaves four children: Alexander, now in Alaska; Henry L. and Mrs. Henry G. Myrick, of Morgan Park; and Mrs. John B. Saunders, of Oak, Ala. One other son, Rudolph, died in 1881.
