    6. [S1018] Obituary (Reliability: 3), 13 May 2020.
      Rawlins Republican, 18 Aug 1921

      C. E. Ayer

      Mr. C. E. Ayer was born in Erie County, New York, March 29th, 1856 and was therefore 65 years, 4 months and 13 days of age at the time of his death. When a child, Mr. Ayer moved with his parents from New York state to Minnesota and a few years later immigrated from there to Muscotah, Kansas, where he grew to manhood. He was a blacksmith by trade and served two years as sheriff of Decatur County when that county was first organized in western Kansas.

      On February 6, 1884, he was married to Hattie J. Viles of Muscotah. Kansas, who survives him and lives at the family home, 296 South Ogden street, Denver, Colorado. To this union were born fife children: two sons, Lawrence C., who lives at Battle Creek, Colorado; Walter D., who is at home; Mrs. M. E. Pickett, of Cheyenne, Wyoming; Mrs. J. H. Hoffman, of Boise, Idaho; and Mrs. H. D. Egner of Longmont, Colorado.

      In 1888, Mr. Ayer moved with his family to a homestead on Willow Creek in Colorado where by the grit and industry possessed only by the western pioneer he overcame every obstacle and developed one of the best ranch and cattle business in the Snake River Valley. Two years ago he sold this property to C. M. Thompson and moved to Denver, where he died.

      Mr. Ayer was a member of the Masonic lodge and was but recently advanced to the Knight Templar degree. The burial, which was in Fairmount cemetery, was in charge of the Masonic order.

      It is enough to say of Mr. Ayer's life that he was successful, honest, and respected.
