and Electa Anna (Curtis) Jackson b. 1826 in NY ~ d. 1908 in MN.
He was killed suddenly by a falling building at his home near Annetta, Nelson County, Dakota Territory on Aug. 28, 1889.
His remains were brought back to this county and buried by the side of his father at Claremont, who died in March 1873.
On 25 Sep. 1881 in Dodge, MN., he was married to Miss Dell Thomas of Kasson, Minn. They moved to Dakota in 1883.
Mr. Eayrs was an industrious, hard-working man, and by his frugality, he had secured a fine home in Dakota. He was highly respected and a large number of friends followed his remains to the grave. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. H. Witter of this place.
He leaves his wife, mother, two sisters, and six brothers, to mourn his loss.

In 1875, Andrew lived with his mother, Electa, in Kasson, with several brothers and one sister. No father is listed on this census. However, I found an 1870 census for A.J. Eyers/Eyars, and these are the family members living in Claremont: A.J., 54, Electa, 44, Abba, 13, Andrew, 9, Samson/Sanson, 8, George W., 6, Charles H., 3, Frank, 1. So this memorial is for the son, Andrew, not the father.
