Wyer P. AYER was born on 1 AUG 1843 in Cornish, Oxford County, Maine. He appeared in the census on 5 JUN 1900 in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine.
Wyer P. Ayer, a member of the firm known as the Portland Paper Box Company, with headquarters at 31 Pearl Street, Portland, was born in Cornish, Oxford County, Me., August 1, 1843, son of Jacob and Abigail (Sargeant) Ayer. His father, who was born in 1802, was a carpenter and builder, fairly successful in his line of business. He died in 1864. His wife,who was born in 1803,died in 1884. They were the parents of eight children; namely, Albion P., Jacob, Wyer P., Edwin, Abigail, Sarah, Patience, and one who died in childhood.
Wyer P. Ayer received a good education, attending the common schools and the high school of Westbrook. He worked first as a clerk for A. B. Stevens & Co., grocers, in Westbrook, remaining with them three years. This apprenticeship familiarized him with the ins and outs of mercantile life, and the knowledge gained was of use to him in his after career. On leaving the grocery business, he took up the manufacture of paper boxes, at first in Westbrook and subsequently in Portland, associating himself with J. P. Libby, under the firm name of Libby & Ayer. In 1873 Mr.T.M.Dodge, in company with Mr. Ayer, purchased Mr. Libby's interest; and the business was thereafter conducted under the name of Ayer & Dodge. About twenty years ago the Portland Paper Box Company was formed, the members of the firm being Wyer P. Ayer, T. M. Dodge, and J. A. Pratt; and since then they have answered the demands of an extensive trade, their business yearly increasing.
In politics Mr. Ayer is a Republican. In 1872 he was elected to the Board of Aldermen from Ward 4, Deering; and in 1873 he was the Republican candidate for Mayor of that city, but was defeated by thirty-four votes. He was again elected Alderman in 1896. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Deering Lodge, No. 183, A. F. & A. M., and also has social interests in Portland, being a member of the Lincoln Club of that city. Mr. Ayer married Sarah E. Colby, of Gorham, Me., daughter of the Rev. Joseph and Elizabeth (Blanchard) Colby. He and his wife attend the Congregational Church of Deering, and reside on Pleasant Street in that suburb. Mr. Ayer is a man of sound judgment and good business
tact, who has climbed unaided the hill of prosperity, and is a typical representative of Portland's solid business interests.
