DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN
Mr. Lyman Ellsworth, for forty-seven years a resident of this village,
died at his house on State Street, on Thursday morning, the 13th inst.
He had been ill but a few days, and old age may be assigned as the
cause of his death. He was born May 15, 1796, in West Killingly,
Conn., from which place the family removed about 1810 to Granville,
Washington County, in this State. Mr. Ellsworth there married in
1823, Miss Amanda Barnes, sister of Joseph Barnes, Esq., late of this
town, and in 1833 removed to Canton, where he engaged in the boot
and shoe business, which he pursued till a few months before his death.
Mrs. Ellsworth died June 15, 1876, after a brief illness, aged 74 years.
Mr. Ellsworth served in the war of 1812, and participated in the bat-
tle of Plattsburg, and was a pensioner of that war. Highly esteemed
by all who knew him, he seemed in a remarkable degree superior to
that second childhood which is supposed to be characteristic of his ad-
vanced age. Forty years ago his establishment was one of the largest
Page 244
of' its kind in the county. Since 1852 he has resigned the control of the
business to his son, J. B. Ellsworth, himself actually as foreman of the
workshop, until a very short period preceding his death. The funeral
services were held at his late residence at one o'clock on Saturday last,
Rev. Mr. Savage, of Norfolk, officiating. His remains were interred
in the village cemetery.
Their family of children were four sons and four daughters:

FAMILY REUNION
[From
Providence (R. I.) Evening Bulletin, Sept. 14, 1883.]
One of the pleasantest
reunions that ever occurred in this vicinity took place at
the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Joab P. Aylsworth, Nausauket Farm, on the eastern
shore of Cowesett
Bay. a short distance below the village, last Thursday, the
occasion being a reunion of the Aylsworth family.
The trains from different directions
brought a number of persons, others arriving
in carriages, and by noon some
sixty or seventy of the family had collected.
Among those present were : .
Judge Eli Aylsworth, of Providence, aged 81 years, and his estimable wife.
Mr. Joab P. Aylsworth, aged 71 years, and his wife, of Warwick.
Mr. Cyrus Aylsworth,
of Foster, aged 65 years.
Mr. John H. Aylsworth, aged 56 years, and wife, of Warwick
Mrs. Polly Phillips, of Foster, aged 75 years, a sister of the
Judge.
Mrs. Rothwell, of Boston, Mrs. Josiah Bennett, of Providence.
Mrs. Abner Angell,
of Providence, and Mrs. Edwin Burlingame, of Providence,
daughters of Judge Aylsworth.
Mr. Curtis Aylsworth, or Providence, son of the Judge.
Mrs. George
Adams, of New Jersey, daughter of Joab P. Aylsworth, and
husband
Mrs. Phebe Aylsworth.
Mrs. Susan Hawkins.
Mrs. Hiram B. Aylsworth, three daughters and
son-in-law, of Providence.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Aylsworth, of Providence
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Aylsworth, of Providence.
Mrs. Oscar Aylsworth, of Apponaug
Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Phillips. of Providence.
Mr. and Mrs. Hiram B. Phillips, of
Providence.
Mr. Charles Bennett, of Danielsonville, Conn.
Mr. and Mrs. Damon Cahoone. Mrs. Nichols, Mr. George M. Weeden
and wife, Mr. Charles Allen and
wife, of Warwick.
And between thirty and forty others, relatives of the family.
After a pleasant hour or two in greetings and social conversation, the
dinner
bell
announced that the clams were ready, and all wended their way to the
summer
dining-room, where four tables, each laid for twen-
Page 255
ty-five persons, were tastefully arranged. The bill of fare consisted of baked
clams,
chowder, clam cakes, baked blue fish, brown bread, pies, cakes, tea
coffee, cold
tea, melons, and innumerable tasty little dishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Joab P, Aylsworth
have a fine reputation for preparing and
serving shore dinners, but it was the
unanimous opinion of all present that this
feast surpassed any of their former efforts, and was as near perfection as it
could be.
After having done ample
justice to the splendid dinner, the party scattered about
through the extensive
buildings and grounds, the elder persons occupying the
spacious parlors of the
mansion, where stories and family reminiscences were
elated, Conspicuous among
the number was the tall and erect form of the oldest
living member of the Aysworth family, Judge Aylsworth, who bears the weight of
his years lightly. He was born in a little one-room house in the town of Foster,
nearly eighty-two
years ago, and is today very proud of his native , town, in the
praise of which
he referred to U. S. Senator Aldrich, Mayor Hayward, Prof.
Alonzo Williams, of
Brown University, and other prominent men as Foster boys.
Besides the three
brothers and one sister present at this gathering. the Judge has
one sister, Mrs.
Celinda Phillips, residing in Foster; another, Mrs. Marcelia Phillips
in Iowa, and a brother, Philip Aylsworth, in Kentucky. He has seven children,
twenty-two grand-children, and eleven great-grand-children living.
Among those
who rendered much assistance in making the gathering pleasant was
our John H.
Aylsworth. the artist, who has been "making faces" at Rocky Point and
Oakland Beach all summer. His sallies of wit and funny sayings created shouts
of
laughter. Among other things he claimed that there was no other family in
existence
could show up as many "heavy weights" as the Aylsworths. As
the day drew to a
close those who reside in this vicinity took their departure
for home, while those living
at a distance decided to remain and visit friends
for a short season, but before
separating all expressed themselves as having
passed a delightful day, the remembrance
of which would long remain green in their memories,
