I was saddened to hear of Dr Ayers-Allen's passing. My father was Rev Linson "Chief" Blakeney @ Carmel Presbyterian. He pastored Boot Ayers & family in Chester SC. I believe Dr Ayers-Allen & family attended the nearby AME church during this time. I have fond memories visiting the Ayers during my childhood. My sincere condolences to the family.
