March l9, l908

MRS. W.M. AYERS died at her home in Hepner, Oregon, last Sunday morning

after a long suffering, in fact she has been an invalid the past three

or four years, most of the time not being able to help herself. She

underwent several operations at the hospitals, but there was little

relief for her in these. Everything possible was done to restore her to

health but all availed nothing and she continued to gradually grow

weaker until death relieved her suffering early last Sunday morning.

The funeral was held Monday afternoon and was very largely attended.

The remains were laid to rest in the Masonic Cemetery at Hepner.
