"The funeral of Mrs. Mary F. Ayres occurred Wednesday afternoon from her late residence at Twenty-third street and Avenue D. A large crowd of friends of the deceased was present, and a part of the ladies only could be accommodated with admission, for want of room. The services were conducted by the Christian Scientists of the city, Mrs. S. S. St. John, and Col. John Roe leading. Flowers were lavishly used as tributes to the departed, and some beautiful floral gifts were received.
The pall bearers were all old friends and neighbors, residents of the city from twenty to twenty-five years. They were Captain Joseph Black, Mayor Halbert, Thomas Beckett, A. C. Bessie, J. P. Johnson,and W. D. Clapp.
Mrs. Mary J. Ayres has lived in Kearney twenty-one years. She was born at Johnstown, New York, November 6, 1823 and died in Kearney, January 1, 1898, aged seventy-four years, one month and twenty-five days. She moved with her parents to near Akron, Ohio, where they lived for a short time, and from there went to Medina county, Ohio, which at that time was a wild timbered county. There she married Nathan W. Ayres and raised four children, the oldest, a daughter, dying in Iowa at the age of eighteen. In 1867 she moved to Birmingham, Iowa. In 1876 she came to Kearney, bringing with her the two youngest children, and lived with her son, C. D. Ayres, until the spring of 1892. In 1892 Mrs. Ayres moved to her residence at Twenty third and D, and has since lived with her son, W. K. Ayres.
She was always a lover of flowers and fruits, and it would be hard to find another home with more flowers and fruit in so small an area. Scores of friends made during her long residence in Kearney mourn her death, and extend to her three sons, Messre. C. D., E. J. and W. K. Ayres, all consolation that lies in human power."

"William K. Ayres, former chief of the Kearney fire department, died at the home of his brother C. D. Ayres, Sunday evening at 6:45 o'clock after a short illness of enlargement of the liver. Mr. Ayes died on his birthday, being just forty-nine years of age to a day when death called him. Although he had been slightly ill for a couple of months serious complications were not expected until Saturday when his condition became grave.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday afternoon at two-thirty o'clock from the Christian church, Rev. E. M. Johnson officiating. The lodge of Eagles will attend in a body as will the members of the fire department. The Knights of Pythias will also take part in the funeral ceremonies.

effect a trade with the Democrats, wherein they are to agree to support McIntire for governor,
and the Republicans return the favor by supporting C. S. Thomas for United States senator
in the coming legislature. The doctor very freely admitted to an old acquaintance, who
was formerly an old-time Republican, but who is now a Populist - which the doctor was not aware
of - that the Republican state ticket was about given up, and the Arapahoe county legislative
ticket was doomed to be cut to pieces, and richly deserved that fate, as it was the most
disreputable lot ever nominated by any party in Arapahoe county. The people of Logan county,
and especially the Democrats, were not taken in by any of the doctor's finely concocted schemes.
They know the Republicans of old. Logan county will roll up a good majority for the Populist
ticket in spite of Republican schemes and boodle. The peopie are aroused to the necessity of
keeping the state from being looted."

August 1914 Fort Collins "Miss Lucile Barkley and S. D. Hall were married today at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Barkley, on South College avenue.
The wedding took place at 12 o'clock and was witnessed by 36 people, consisting of immediate friends
and relatives and members of the K. E. club and the Bonnes Amies, in which organizations the bride is
associated.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss Jane Kinney sang Because in her charming manner, and then
Miss Bettie Hubbell played Lohengrin's well-known wedding march. Dr. Klene of the First Presbyterian
church was the officiating clergyman. The wedding party was made up of the groom, Mr. Hall,
the groomsman, Oliver W. Hall, brother of the groom, the bridesmaid, Miss Ruth Barkley,
sister of the bride, and Mr. Barkley supporting his daughter, Miss Lucile, the bride.
The Presbyterian service was used, &nd proved very impressive.
Immediately following the marriage ceremony, a three-course wedding breakfast was served in the
spacious dining room of the home. A beautiful color scheme of white and pink was carried out in the
table decorations and in the courses. While the guests were discussing the wedding
and engaged in a general good time, the bride and groom quietly left the house and are on their way to
Colorado Springs and Canon City, where they will spend their honeymoon.
Mrs. Hall is tbe youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Barkley. She is
immensely popular in the younger set, caused particularly by her unostentatious manners.
Until recently she attended the Agricultural college, where she had many friends.
Her acquaintance in the city is very large, as she has spent her entire life here.
"Sig" Hall is well known here, although he has been in the city but a few years.
He has made the Ford automobile famous in Fort Collins and vicinity in the past two years.
He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Hall of Denver. In 1911 he graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania and soon after came to this city. He is quiet and unassuming,
but has made a host of friends here. The bride and groom expect to return to this city before
September 1, after which time they will be at home to their friends at 715 West Mountain avenue.
Amcng the out of town guests who attended the wedding were Dr. and Mrs. Hall,
parents of the groom; Mr. and Mrs. Forest Barkley of Denver, Mrs. John Kitely
and Mrs. Fanny Barkley of Longmont, and Mr. and Mrs. Thane Schureman of Maywood, Neb."
Oliver W. Hall, Age 24, and Ethel M. Moore married 24 May 1916 in Fort Collins, Colorado.
August 2, 1918 Fort Collins "A fine nine-pound boy was born this morning to Mr. and Mrs.
Oliver W. Hall at the Powers maternity hospital. Mother and little one are doing nicely."
October 1918
June 1927 "To have a whole town close shop, decorate the streets and join in
the celebration is the unique distinction which will be accorded Mrs. J. N. Hall, wife of Dr. Hall, Denver physician, one day in the near future when the little town of Sterling stops to pay homage to its first school teacher.
Mrs. Hall taught school in Sterling when she was but 15 years of age. The family had moved west from Mississippi and she was prevailed upon to share her superior training with the children of the town. It was in the days of Indian raids, and close by Mrs. Hall's school was & sod fort which was often the refuge of the natives. That it was no idle precaution is shown by the fact that several men were
killed by the savages within a few miles of Sterling. In the summer of 1878, all of the women were obliged to seek protection at Fort Sidney, Neb., for two weeks because of Indian raids.
Here the little southern girl, with hair plaited down her back, inaugurated a permanent educational system in a region the size of the state of Massachusetts, and comprising the present counties of Morgan, Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, Washington and Yuma.
The Elbridge Gerry chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, recently decided to erect a tablet in recognition of the unusual service Mrs. Hall rendered the community. The order for the stone was handled by the Monument Co. of Sterling and the date of the ceremony is pending the arrival of the stone.
The plate to be inserted will bear this inscription:
"STERLING'S FIRST SCHOOLHOUSE
“This tablet commemorates the establishment of the first public school by the Sterling settlement,
October, 1875. The first teacher was Carrie G. Ayres, later Mrs. J. N. Hall of Denver.
The schoolhouse stood 3,160 feet east, and the sod fort, built by the settlers for protection
against the Indians, 4,200 feet southeast of this point.
“This tablet is erected by the Elbridge Gerry chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.”
But Sterling decided that there were too many thereabout who had benefited by Mrs. Hall's
ministrations to limit the celebration. So it was decided to make it a county affair. The presentation
will be made to the county by Mrs. Burke Conklin and the monument will be accepted by Cash Morris,
senior member of the board of county commissioners. Addresses will be made by John Coen and
Dr. J. N. Hall. The invocation will be delivered by the Rev. T. M. Todd of Sterling.
The program will begin with “America”’ and end with “The Star Bpangled Banner.”
Following this, the D. A. R. will give a formal reception at the home of Mrs. Lew Davenport.
All pioneers and their families have been included in the invitations.
Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Hall of Fort Collins and Col. and Mrs. Barry Duffield of Roswell, N. M.
will help celebrate.
The unusual honor which is being paid Mrs. Hall was kept as a surprise until the movement had about
reached completion. Mrs. Hall has devoted her life to ministering to others and to promoting patriotism.
She has always retained an active ihterest in the Daughters of the Confederacy
and Daughters of the American Revolution, and thruout the years, has never been too busy to spend a
day in Sterling whenever the home chapters were going to meet."

"Dr. Josiah N. Hall, one of the well known physician members of the Colorado Medical Society, had a great love for the
