Mrs. Ida Pickett Ayers died quite suddenly last night about 11:30 o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Hornaday on East Wabash Avenue. She had been quite low for some time and no hope was entertained of her recovery, yet the end came unexpectedly. This evening at 7:30 o’clock, short services will be held at the house, conducted by Rev. J. W. Greene. Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock the regular funeral services will take place at Kokomo, conducted by Dr. Greene, the remains being taken there tomorrow.
Mrs. Ayers was the youngest of the children of Nathan Pickett, of Kokomo, and was a lady universally loved and respected for her many admirable qualities. She had been in poor health for some time and had given up hope of recovery some days ago, when she entrusted the care of her only child, Warren, to her sister, Mrs. Hornaday. The entire community extends sympathy to the bereaved family in its great sorrow.
