Walter Ayer
I have an old studio photograph of Walter AYER which was taken at the Anderson Studio in Haverhill, MA in 1896. Walter is identified as "Alderman Ward 1". Walter appears to be in his 60's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Walter and his family:
Walter AYER was b. 9 Mar 1835 in Haverhill, MA to parents Perley AYER (1800-1870) and Catherine S. KIMBALL (1802-1893) who were married 30 Sept 1826 in Haverhill, MA. Walter was one of 6 children born to this couple including Phineas; George; Catherine; Walter; Annette; and Helen AYER, all born between 1827 and 1840. Walter married Abigail “Abbie” or “Abby” West STEVENS (1839-1907) on 6 Sept 1857 in Haverhill, MA. The couple had three children including Clarence Walter; Lizzie Gertrude; and Frances May AYER, all born between 1862 and 1870. Walter died 20 Apr 1916 in Haverhill, MA and is buried in the Linwood Cemetery in Haverhill.
I am hoping to locate someone from Walter’s family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
