Atlanta Constitution, 23 Jun 1882 
Hartwell, June 21 - Two of the oldest as well as the most prominent  citizens 
of this county departed this life during the past week. Mr. Jedediah Ayers of 
Reed Creek district, died last Sunday. He had been in feeble health for some 
time, and his death was not unexpected. He was well known over the county, 
having been a justice of the peace for many years, and was respected by all 
who knew him. Uncle George McCurley, of Smith's district, died yesterdy very 
suddenly of heart disease at the residence of his son-in-law. He was in 
apparent good health, and had that  day driven to his son-in-law's (Hymer 
Skelton), a distance of some twelve miles from his home. He had just finished 
a hearty supper, when on rising from the table he fell down and breathed his 
last in a few minutes. He was one of the first settlers of Hart county, and 
his loss is mourned by all our people. 

Additional Comments:
The Hart Co. cemetery book indicated that Jedediah Ayers, born 1798, died 
1887, is buried in an unmarked grave in the Jedediah Ayers family cemetery.
