C. C. Ayers
Bro. Columbus Ayers,  Deceased June 9, 1935 was 64 years, 10 months and 26 
days old.  Leaves a wife 55 years old, 10 children, 3 Brothers, 2 Sisters and 
a host of friends to mourn his loss.  He said he was ready to go and was going 
home.  He was Deacon of church here.  He belonged to the church about nine 
years.  He was a first class Christian man and done lots for the poor.  Gone, 
but not forgotten.  Our loss, but Heaven's gain.  We connot express how highly 
he was esteemed among his friends.  He preached his funeral by his daily 
walks.
May God bless his family that they may walk in his foot steps,  That they may 
meet him in Heaven some sweet day.
Your Bro in Christ.
W. M. Street, Clerk.
