That bourne whence none return.
And one by one, we're called, alas,
Departed friends to mourn.
Though death to them is
gain;
This fact does consolation speak
To mourners bowed in pain.
Feel members left behind,
Than when death's well aimed arrow flies
And fells the scoffer blind.
To friends behind looks
bright,
And points to that celestial dawn
Where they'll again unite.
Now Father Aylsworth's
gone;
We know that Jesus held death's cup,
Nor suffered he alone.
Though dead he speaketh
yet;
While sorrow's cup o'erflows the brim,
Bright glimpses oft we
get--
Where saints of God find
rest,
And joyous, round the throne they stand,
Among the Angels
blest.

Patterson, Dutchess Co., N. Y.,
and dwelt last in Clarence, Erie Co., N.
Y., where he died Aug. 23, 1826, and she
Dec. 30, 1858. The following sketch is from the pen of Lura F. Aylsworth :
The advent of William, son of William and Catharine, after five
daughters
had blessed their household, was a notable event. The father could
hardly
believe the messenger who announced "to you a son is born." Nature
was
bountiful in her gifts to him, a frank and genial spirit shone out from
his
handsome face, much of family pride centered in him, and his friends
wished
him a better lot in life than their farm could afford.
Page 146
While yet a young man he joined a party of surveyors going down the Hudson,
and passing through Patterson, Dutchess Co.. N. Y., he chanced to
meet
Nancy Weed, a fair young lady, whom, after a short acquaintance, he
married.
His people received her as a daughter and sister, and always loved the
little
lady or artistic tastes and graceful ways. His father generously
started him in
trade in Hudson, but the war or 1812 brought disaster to the young
merchant.
The father with his son and his family started out west in a lumber
wagon to
seek a new and more reliable field of work, and in April, 1816, they
reached
Clarence, N. Y. A farm of a hundred acres was bought, situated in
Clarence
on the Holland purchase, twenty miles east of Buffalo on the Salt
Road, and
three miles north of the State Road running from Albany to Buffalo. A
small
clearing and a log house were the entire improvements, and till land
was cleared
and a crop raised provisions must come from Caladonia, thirty-two miles
east.
The milling was done at Niagara Falls, twenty-seven miles west.
He found the settlement poor and discouraged but his enthusiasm,
unfailing
good nature and hope infused a new spirit into the almost
disheartened
company of pioneers. He was one of the first to form a school
district and
establish a school; was an elder in the first Presbyterian Church of
Clarence,
and a generous and honored member of the society. Being prospered in
all
he undertook he soon built a house and barn and bought one hundred
and
fifty acres of land adjoining his farm. To complete some payments he
and
his sons drew wheat to Rochester, seventy miles east, and sold it for
three
shillings [37 1-2 cents] per bushel. He put up a sawmill and a
grist-mill on
a stream of water .1 running through his land. His brother Asahel
spent some
months with him, and helped set out an apple orchard close by the house
on
the south west so that when the country became cleared the trees would
break
the force of the winds from Lake Erie. Children of the fourth
generation
gather its fruits of unknown names save such as the family have given
them.
day in August returning from Lockport he walked a few miles through a
low,
malarious swamp, taking off his coat he soon became chilled and was
stricken
down with chill fever. He suffered but a few days, no medical skill
then at hand
being able to relieve him. Often delirious he gave orders to his
man, and in his
lucid intervals would not allow them to be discharged. In a chill on
the afternoon
of Aug. 23, 1826, in the flush of his strength and prime of life, he
died. He left a
broken home, and children who all their life long have missed their
father. They
buried him in the then only public grounds, a mile and a half northeast or
the
homestead. One of his sons made a journey to Stockbridge, Mass., and
brought
home a stone to mark his grave. It Page
147 was the first set in the
grounds. From the east
and from the west the Aylsworths of Clarence have brought back their dead
to
rest ill this yard.
From the loss of her husband the mother never fully
recovered. After the first
shock of grief was over her life was one of marked submission.
Neither apathetic
nor rebellious, all her views of life were " God wills
it." She never lacked the loving
devotion of her children. Her sons were right loyal to their
mother. She was their first
care. For years her lamp was trimmed and burning, and when suddenly
the cry was
heard at midnight, " Behold, the bride groom cometh! " she rose
up hastily and blessing
her children, when out of this life. On New Year's day, 1859, two
sons with their families
stood around her open grave comforting their hearts with thoughts of
the" happy reunion
of father and mother, and the belief that the two would take part in the
first resurrection.
