HENRY AYARS PASSES AWAY
AT AGE OF 93.
______
Pioneer Citizen Watched City Grow
From Trading Post—Civil
War Veteran.
______
Henry Ayars, aged 93 years, 7 months and 26 days, oldest male citizen of Neodesha and one of its earliest settlers, died at 4:50 a. m. last Friday at his home, 514 Iowa street after being bedfast for the last two weeks. Mr. Ayars died of old age and apparently suffered none even during the time he was bedfast.
The four surviving children—Mrs. May Ward, Charles Ayars, and Miss Maggie Ayars of Neodesha, and Mrs. Lizzie Shaffer of Joplin—all at home to attend the services along with a large number of other relatives from various points in Kansas and Missouri. Henry, the eldest child of the family, died in Anderson county in 1866. He leaves seven grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
Henry Ayars was born in Hamburg, Germany, December 11, 1831. In 1858, he came to the United States and finally reached Missouri. After working in that state for a short time, he and his brother, William went to Anderson county, Kansas and took claims along the Little Pottawatomie river, about six miles north of Garnett. That was in 1860. It was while living in Anderson county that he was united in marriage to Mary Hoss at Leavenworth. To this union was born the five children previously mentioned.
Like many another veteran, Henry Ayars cherished for years the memories of his service in the Union army during the War of the Rebellion. He enlisted from Anderson county in Company F, Eleventh Kansas Infantry in 1862 and served his nation three years. His company after a brief service as an infantry company was mounted and went into Missouri where it saw service in many of the battles in that state. Mr. Ayars went through the battles of Westport and Prairie Grove and never was wounded.
His company after the close of the Civil War, was sent to the Black Hills to fight Indians, and hence it was not until the war was well over that he was able to return to his Anderson county farm and again take up his business. About 1867 he left the farm and opened a brewery in Garnett. He conducted that business until 1871 when he loaded his family into a train headed for Thayer and he himself took the remainder of his effects in a wagon to Independence. The family took a stage from the railroad terminus at Thayer to Independence. At Independence Mr. Ayars again opened a brewery, running it for about two years.
In making the trip from Garnett by wagon, Mr. Ayars had his first glimpse of the town where he was destined to spend his declining years. He camped one night on the trip about where Dun Dam is now located. Neodesha then was only a year old and consisted of a small cluster of homes and one or two business houses.
This city was but little larger when Mr. Ayars brought his family to Wilson county in 1873 and homesteaded a 160-acre farm, three and a half miles east of Neodesha, a property which he owned at the time of his death. The farm on which his family was reared, in located straight east of Pleasant Valley school.
It was not until about 1898 that Mr. and Mrs. Ayars gave up farming and decided to retire. They moved to the property on Iowa street where both died and in their last years were tenderly cared for by their daughter, Miss Maggie Ayars, who devoted much of her life to their comfort and happiness.
Henry Ayars was a great home lover and spent most of his later years enjoying the fruits of his labors in early days. He was a charter member of the Humphrey post of the G. A. R. and always took great interest in its affairs. His church affiliation was German Lutheran and he was a firm believer in the tenets of that faith. He was known as a kind and sympathetic father, a good husband, and a citizen who attended strictly to his own affairs and hence enjoyed the respect and confidence of all who knew him.
Full military honors for Mr. Ayers, were given Sunday afternoon when his remains were laid to rest beside those of his deceased wife in Neodesha cemetery. Humphrey post of the G. A. R., of which the deceased was a charter member, and Seward-Ayars post of the American Legion conducted the military rites.
The services began at the Ayars residence, 514 Iowa street, with the Rev. W. R. Leigh, retired Methodist minister, in charge. He was a veteran of the War of the Rebellion. A mixed quartet, comprised of Misses Mildred Meineke and Marjorie Young and L. P. Trussell and William Morse, sang favorite hymns.
Pall bearers were the following veterans of the World War: Irwin Shoemaker, Otis Graham, Harold Brown, Albert Lehman, Fred Stoops, and Ralph Young. Honorary pall bearers were nine members of the G. A. R.
At the cemetery the American Legion took charge and its firing squad gave the customary military salute to the dead, while Marvin Rhodes blew “taps.” Newton Fenner served as color bearer and Edward Moulton and R. D. McDaniel as color guards.
