Henry C. Ayers
Henry Clinton Ayers, son of Joseph and Lucy Caroline (Emery) Ayers, was born
January 6, 1840, at Northfield, New Hampshire. He pursued his preparatory studies at
New Hampton, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term
of
Freshman year, August 24, 1860.
The year following graduation, he taught Latin and Greek in the Educational
Institute at Ogdensburg, New York. In September, 1865, he became Principal of the
Grammar School at Toledo, Ohio. In 1866 he went to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and
engaged in the insurance business, remaining there until the Spring of 1870. He then
located at Titusville, Pennsylvania, in the real-estate and general insurance
business.
In the latter part of 1874, he returned to Pittsburg, and became Manager of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for Western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, which position he still occupies.
By long experience, an extensive acquaintance, and close attention to business, he
has built up one of the largest agencies of the company.
His residence is in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, one of the beautiful suburbs of
Pittsburg, twelve miles down the Ohio river.
His religious preference is indicated by the fact that he is a member of the First
Presbyterian church of Sewickley. In politics, he is a Republican.
He was married December 25, 1871, to Miss Mary Laughlin Rea, of Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania. They have one child, Elisabeth Rea, born February 17, 1874.
