Randolph Star
The subject of this sketch was born in Carroll County GA., Nov. 15th, 1835. She 
was the daughter John P. McInzie. She was married to W.L. Ayres March the 4th 
1855 and died Oct. 26th, 1908. She was therefore seventy-two years, eleven 
months and eleven days old at the time of her death. She was the wife of W.L. 
Ayres for fifty-three years, eight months and twenty-two days. She was the 
mother of eight children, three sons and five daughters. They are in the order 
of their ages: Mrs. H.D. Landers, John D. Ayres, Mrs. R.S. Thomas, Mrs. M.J. 
Tenant, Irvin Ayres who proceeded his mother to the grave. Mrs. J.H. Wright, 
Mrs. Cory Linville and W.P. Ayres. Mrs. Ayres of Aunt Delia as she was 
familiarly known among her acquaintances was a devoted wife and mother whose aim 
in life seemed to be to render comfort to those around her. The writer knew her 
personally for more than thirty-five years. Aunt Delia was to me the same 
prosperity or adversity or in joy or sorrow. She was not a member of any church 
here but believed in the doctrine of the Primitive Baptist church to which it is 
said that she wished to be united, but for the fact her husband never has seen 
cause to unite with any church, she failed to do so. It can truthfully be said 
of her and her husband that no person saint nor sinner, white of black, worthy 
or unworthy was ever turned from her home without food, shelter or comfort when 
was in their power to give them. In an acquaintance of nearly forty years, I 
have never heard her speak ill of anyone. I made this remark to her nearest 
neighbor a lady who had known her intimately for more than forty years, the 
reply was "Neither did anyone else". Aunt Delia has gone to meet the reward of a 
pious and virtuous life, and I doubt not that her home is with the Blessed. 
G.V. Landers. 

Additional Comments:
Daughter of John Patrick McKenzie and wife of Wilson Lumpkin Ayres.
