"DEATHS AND FUNERALS
MISS KATHERINE A. AYERS
Miss Katherine Alicia Ayres, member of one of the first families of Macon, died at an early hour yesterday morning at the family home on Walnut street, after a critical illness of several weeks. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 6 o'clock from the residence, the Rev. Charles H. Lee conducting the service.
Miss Ayres' grandfather, Henry Sumner Cutter, was one of the pioneers of Macon. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Asher Ayres, who also were prominent in the early life of Macon.
The family was instrumental in the organization of Christ Episcopal Church and for many years Miss Ayres had been a devoted and active member of this congregation. She was also active in charitable work, her entire life being devoted to usefulness.
Surviving Miss Ayres are two sisters, Mrs. S. H. Pearson and Mrs. G. C. Conner and one brother, Albert Ayres, of Alabama, and a large number of nephews, nieces and cousins."
