and was prepared for College at the

entered Yale in the Fall of 1873,
graduating with high honors in the
Class of Seventy-Seven. He was of

B. Neal, of Bloomburg, Pa., a woman
of devoted Christian character and ser-
vice. Seven children were born to
them, four of whom are now living.
Mr. Shipley’s business life since
graduation was devoted to mercantile
and manufacturing lines. As President
of a large manufacturing corporation,
he possessed the estéem of all with
whom he came in contact and was re-
garded by his employees as a personal
friend. The high moral standards of
his business life gained for him the
confidence of all with whom he came
into business relations.
He was active in the church of which
he was a member, and also gave much
time and effort to the establishment
of a club for poor boys, to whose enter-
tainment and religious training he was
devoted. He was present at the re-
union of his Class in New Haven, last
June, and the news of his death will
be received by his classmates with
heartfelt sorrow. He will always live
in their memory as a man of singular
purity of character and of great use-
fulness in life.

spent his boyhood on the home farm,
attending the common schools, grad-
He |
uated from the Saybrook Institute at |
the age of eighteen. The next year
he entered the Yale Law School and
eraduated with the Class of Eighty-
Three. In 1885 he went to Olympia
and opened a law office. Fora year or
more his practice was scant, consist-
ing mostly of clerical work,- but while
thus engaged he laid the foundation of
an enviable reputation as a young man
of exemplary habits and scrupulous in-
tegrity. In 1887 he went into partner-
ship with Judge Thorn, a leading and
established lawyer of Olympia. Soon
after Judge Thron retired, leaving the
entire practice to Mr. Ayer, who in
September, 1888, established a partner-
ship with Judge N. T. Allen, a man
much his elder. This partnership was
continued until 1893, when on account
of the panic it was deemed best that it
should be dissolved. Mr. Ayer con-
tinued his practice until his election as
Judge of the Superior Court in 1896.
Judge Ayer’s political career began in
1889, when he was elected as City At-
torney of Olympia, which position led
to his election as Prosecuting Attorney
for Thurston County the next year.
In 1895 he was Mayor of Olympia, and
as stated above was elected Judge of the
Superior Court in 1896, a_ position
which he held at the time of his death.
Judge Ayer leaves a wife and five
little children besides a sister and two
brothers, all of whom live in Washing-
ton. His father, Edwin Ayer, and a sis-
ter, Cora, still live in Saybrook.

To CLASS SUPPER
COMMITTEES.
In looking for a place for roomy
quarters, for a well served, well
prepared banquet, you will not
make a mistake in inquiring of
MOSELEY'S «NEW “HAVEN
HOUSE. We have been pay-
ing rather particular attention
of late to spreads, and the
experience of those who have
attended banquets at the hotel
has been very pleasant.
The rooms are so spacious and the
ceilings so high that the smoke
does not bother even very sen-
sitive eyes and the air remains
wholesome. One feels a lot
better the next day.
The house has been very much
improved of late and it is indeed
a comfortable place now. If
you want to spend a few days
of spring in a beautiful New
England and University town,
you will enjoy life at
MOSELEY’S
NEW HAVEN HOUSE.
