from reprint of “Clarke County Historical and Biographical Record” by Lewis Publishing, 1886. p. 114.

CHARLES THOMAS AYRES, youngest son of Justin AYRES, of Jackson Township, was born in Summit County, Ohio, September 18, 1847. He accompanied his father to Clarke County, in 1868, the year of his majority, and since then has been associated in the business of farming and stock-growing, owning jointly 500 acres of choice land. C.T. Ayres is a thorough student of the best means to be adopted in successful farming. His motto is “the best is none too good,” and lays his plans accordingly, as his means will admit of. Live-stock breeding is the feature of farm life most fascinating to him, yet has a love for all the beauties and benefits of a nice home and rural surroundings.

February 18, 1879, C. T. Ayres was married to Nellie Raymond, who was born in Michigan, July 25, 1852, a daughter of D. R. Raymond, then of Clarke County, Iowa, but now a resident of Huron, Dakota. Charles and Nellie AYRES have three children-- Lizzie, Romeyn and Raymond. Mr. Ayres is an independent in politics. Has served as president and secretary of the County Agricultural Society, and has served in an official capacity in township affairs, but does not aspire to office.
