At her summer home in Weekapaug, on Sabbath, August 27, 1932, Mrs. Hannah BentIey Ayers, in her eighty-eighth year.
Hannah Bentley, daughter of Benjamin W. and Mary P. (Maxson) Bentley, was born February 9, 1845, at the Bentley homestead on the Shore Road, the present home of Albert F. Clark, a cousin of the deceased. She was baptized and united with the Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church on April 3, 1858, and has been a keenly interested member all these seventy-four years.
She was married to Walter Gillette Ayers of New Market, N. J., February 12, 1868. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ayers: a son, James WaIter, who died at an early age; a son, Hobart Bentley of Pittsburgh, Pa.; and a daughter, Hannah Louise Ayers of Westerly. She is also survived by two grandchildren Doris and Jane Ayers; and a sister, Mrs. Lewis Titsworth of Plainfield, N. J.
"Mother Ayers," as she was affectionately called, had a host of friends. She had been an invalid for the past seven years, but was uncomplaining and cheerful, and her children and others who ministered to her were blessed. Her mind was keen. The great interests of her life were her home and her church. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Westerly Historical Society.
Farewell services were held at her late home, 3 Maple Ave., Westerly, August 30th, and interment was in River Bend Cemetery. Her pastor Rev. Harold R. Crandall, officiated.
