Carrizozo Outlook stating that Carl Ayers died on the 18 August 1916. It states the following:
CARL AYERS DIES
Carl Ayers, a young man of twenty-one years, died at his home in Jake Springs, on Monday from complication of diseases. The young man had been a sufferer for a long time, having been sick about tgwo years. His parents, Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Ayers, are well known in the community, as Mr. Ayers has for some time been section foreman for Southwestern (RR) at that point. The funeral was held Monday evening and interment made at Jake Springs Cemetery.
From the information I have gathered, William Jefferson Ayers owned a small ranch in Lincoln county. I was told that WJA was buried at Carrizozo Cemetery - but have not been able to "prove" it. As to the Ayers Cemetery.
