Died: At Sun City, Kas., on Wednesday, February 29th, 1888, at 10 a.m., Capt.
Byron P. Ayers, aged about fifty-two years, after an
illness of a couple of months. To all of the old settlers and many of the new
of Barber county, Capt. Ayers is well-known, yet but little is known of his
early history. He was born in Ohio and in his youth was known as a brilliant
young man, being principal of a high school when only nineteen years of age. He
came to Kansas when it was a Territory and in the early days was prominently
connected with the Territorial government. During the war he was in the Union
army, serving in both the 1st and 2nd Kansas Infantry. After the war he was
prominent in the state; has been in the state legislature and occupied numerous
other responsible positions. Years ago he married and we believe has several
children. Some time in his history he met with disappointments and reverses
that drove him to dissipation, and like most brilliant young men, his downfall
was rapid. In 1874 he came to Barber county. Already had he given up. He had
no ambition farther than to live. Since his arrival in this county he has made
his home at Sun City most of the time. He has been county attorney and held
other offices in this county. But let us draw the veil over the hardships and
struggles of his life. Let those who wish call it weakness. Despite his
faults, he was a good, kindhearted man. He was a man that little children went
to with their joys and sorrows, confident, always, that in him they had a
friend. He was a man whom everybody loved and despite the ravages of the
destroyer in later years, all were glad to clasp his hand and call him friend.
A nobleman first, a nobleman always. The dashing to earth of his early hopes
and his constant struggle against fate marred the casket; but from it beamed the
kindly soul and despite the ravages of disease, sorrow and melancholy, he was a
gentleman. "You may crush, you may shatter the vase if you will; But the scent
of roses will hang round it still." The funeral takes place today, in charge of
Sun City Post G.A.R. Several of the captain's soldier friends from this place
will attend. (Medicine Lodge Cresset) The deceased proved up a quarter
section which now stands part of the town of Lake City. He gave the land for
the Lake City cemetery. He has many friends here who are mourning his death.
