Who was Aaron Ayers?

Aaron Ayers came to Christchurch from England as a newly married man in his mid 20s. He was a hairdresser and tobacconist for two decades before entering the auctioneering business. He was elected Mayor of Christchurch in 1885 unopposed, and was re-elected a year later in the most keenly contested mayoral election thus far, narrowly beating Charles Louisson. He retired after his second term as mayor. He contested two by-elections to Parliament in 1887, but came second on both occasions. After his mayoralty, he lived mostly a private life and was known as an avid gardener.
