Lucy Ayres Heathco (1878-1962), was the much older half-sister to Anna Ayres. They shared the same father, William Franklin Ayres (1853-1934). Lucy's mother, Marria Barnaby Ayres, died in 1895. William would eventually marry Grace Clavell (1875-1941), the mother to Anna in 1900. Lucy and her husband Roy Heathco (1870-1951) lived at 226 South Washington Street in Knightstown, Indiana. He was a foreman at a local mill. To complicate matters further, both of them had been in previous marriages and had children by other spouses. Lucy had been married to a Mr. Cameron and had a son named Donald Cameron (1900-1989) Anna Ayres and Donald grew up together and remained close their entire lives.
In this photo Lucy Heathco stands next to her Knightstown home. Unfortunately, the home was torn down sometime after her son's death in 1989. Donald Cameron lived as a bachelor in the house until his death. The homes across the street at 211 and 217 South Washington Street are still standing in 2011.
