Derby, Vt., in 1806, where he died Aug. 26, 1839, and she Dec. 26, 1864.
   She was in many respects a remarkable woman. Reared and living in the 
backwoods until life was past its prime, and having very limited access to the
periodical literature of the day, she yet possessed a very accurate knowledge 
of current events, and freely discussed the principles of national policy, subjects 
on which but few farmers' wives would venture to pass an opinion.  History was 
her favorite study.  A firm believer, and a consistent member, of the Church of
Christ, she never allowed a fitting opportunity to pass of inculcating principles of 
Christian virtue and morality. [A. 0. Bayley.]

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.

                                   BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

                                      By REV. D. A. WHEADON, D. D.

Eli Aylsworth, still living (1887) at the age of eighty-five, furnishes
a notable example of men who, by diligence, economy, and integrity,
have risen from poverty to honor and wealth.  He loves to tell to his
children, and grand-children, and great-grand-children the story of his
early years.  He was born in Foster, R. I., June 6, 1802, in an unclap-
boarded house of two unplastered rooms, with two windows, no cellar,
and a chimney of stones and clay.  A married uncle and aunt-his
father's sister and his mother's brother — lived in the same house.  The
father possessed a small piece of land, enough to make him and his old-
est son voters under the old charter by which the State was then gov-
erned.  Only by unremitting toil and constant frugality was he able to
meet the wants of a family which finally numbered twelve children.
   The boy Eli did not enjoy the advantage of schools until he was nine
years of age.  They were then few and from one to four miles away.
He went to school one summer, and afterward for three or four months
in the winter.  What other education he ever obtained was gained in
practical life.  When ten years old he earned his first money, except
perhaps a few cents occasionally for an odd job. He found employment
for the month of July in a hay field, and in payment received four sil-
ver dollars.*  In the autumn following he found a job of digging pota.-
toes, his compensation being every tenth bushel. His share, sixteen
bushels, he sold for two dollars. These six dollars he handed to his
mother, requesting her to keep them for him, playfully adding: " I
always intend to have money."  He has them still, and frequently
boasts of his promise to his mother.  He tells of another promise made
her.  She was a Godly woman, and a member of the Christian denom-
ination. When he was leaving home, she lovingly and faithfully sought
to arm him against falsehood, profanity, and other prevalent vices.
Under the examples around him he fell a few times into the use of pro-
fane language, but on his next visit home he frankly confessed it all to
her, promising that that should be the end of it. " My son," said his
mother, "I rely upon your word." And the promise has been kept for
seventy-four years.
   After the age of eleven years Eli never lived at home. He was hired
at farm work in the summer, giving the proceeds to his father to aid in
the maintenance of the family.  Three years, bare-footed and coarsely
clad, he worked eight months at one place, and in the winter went to
school, doing chores for his board and paying his own tuition bills.
Rising at midnight to chop wood, as he sometimes did, that he might
get to school, was no easy way to get an education.  When seventeen he
was allowed to reserve for himself one-half of his wages, and out of the

* It was said when he died that in a little box in the Westminster 
Bank of Providence are the first four silver dollars he earned.  
He got them for pitching hay and hoeing potatoes.


Page 249

summer earnings he clothed himself and loaned ten dollars to his grand-
father.  The note then given was repeatedly renewed, and after the
death of the maker, in 1843. he received twelve and a half cents on the
dollar. " I felt well paid," he says; " I took care of them." The love
and sympathy shown the struggling boy were repaid in the care of the
aged pair by the prosperous man.  He also took care or his father and
mother when sickness and age came upon them, and aided in the sup-
port of the younger children.
   At eighteen he obtained a clerkship in a store for a year, retaining
his entire wages, when another was obtained in a store were jobs of
weaving by hand were giving out to the people of the vicinity. The
failure of this trader gave him the opportunity of entering upon busi-
ness for himself.  He was twenty years old, and just married to Miss
Martha Bennett, a lady of admirable character, and a member of the
Christian denomination.  He had a capital of one hundred and forty-
nine dollars.  He purchased a building. and with the help of the neigh-
bors, in country fashion, moved it to the desired location, where it was
literally placed " on a rock."  When completed, it had cost one hun-
dred and eight dollars, to be paid " in goods."  He then went to Provi-
dence and sought the counsel of Mr. Randolph Chandler, an old mer-
chat of the city, whose wise advice he implicitly followed, and returned
home with a thousand dollars' worth of goods, mostly bought on credit.
He worked hard, sometimes starting at two o'clock in the morning with
butter, eggs, and other produce, for Providence, returning at night with
a load of new goods.  The business was so well managed that the first
year's profits amounted to nine hundred dollars.  For four years his
house-rent cost him six dollars per annum.  Mrs. Aylsworth was his
most efficient helper, even bringing her cradle to the store that she
mjght the more readily serve as clerk.  For eleven years his stock of
goods embraced a supply of liquors, as was at that time the prevalent
custom of country merchants.  But he noticed the mischevious effects :
of drinking habits upon the community.  His children were growing 
up around him, and he determined that they should not be drunkards.
So he sold out the business, and soon afterward opened a strictly " tem-
perance store," which at that period was a novelty in trade.  From
that time he has been an uncompromising foe of intemperance.
   Mr, Aylsworth thus became one of the substantial men of the town.
He did some farming and also something in buying and selling real
estate.  His neighbors and townsmen trusted him.   He was made a
justice of the peace, and deputy sheriff, and held other offices.  In 1838
he was made Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Providence
County, being associated with the Hon. Thomas Burgess. and Judges
Daniels, Potter, and Armstrong. Meanwhile, as wealth was increasing
and honors were falling upon him, he was called in 1837 to the loss of

Page 250

the wife of his youth, and the mother of his nine children.  Three years
later he married Maria Fairman, a lovely and excellent woman; and a
member of the Baptist Church.
  In 1841 Judge Aylsworth sold his store and removed to North Foster
and settled on a farm.  But he soon found it expedient to, in order to
save a debt of seven hundred dollars, to purchase three lines of stages
running between Providence and Danielsonville, Conn. , which rendered
necessary his removal to the latter place.  After six month, he removed
again to Brooklyn, just across the river.
  There was then but one church in Danielsville, the Congregational.
The place was growing, and there was ample room for another.  It so
chanced that a Methodist local preacher, by the name of Wheeler, came
into the town and opened a series of meetings in the conference room
of the church, which resulted in about two hundred professed conver-
sions. It soon became manifest that a large number of the converts
desired to be organized into a Methodist Society, and another place of
worship must be found.  The Judge, though not a Methodist, promptly
gave them sympathy and help.  He at once hired for their use the ball-
room of the hotel, the only available room in the town that was of suit-
able size, stipulating for the closing of the bar on Sundays and at all
times of service."  But the room proved not large enough, and for a
time the depot freight house was secured.  He resolved on the erection
of a Methodist Church.  He found four men of like spirit with himself
who joined him in the work.  A lot was bought, the lot on which the
present church stands, and a contract was made by which the edifice
was to be erected, and, when completed to the turning of the key, the
price agreed upon was to be paid.  This was done.  The pews were
then sold, and the proceeds were enough to reimburse the projectors of
the enterprise and leave a surplu,. which was turned over to the young
society.b It is only just to say that for this fine success the Methodists
of Danielsonville' are chiefly indebted to Judge Aylsworth.  He was
made one of the first Board of Trustees, and was kept in that position
for some years after he left the State.
  In .July, 1842. he was called to mourn the loss, by consumption, of
his devoted wife, and remained fourteen months in lonely widowerhood.
He then married Miss Eliza S. Angell, of Scituate, R. I., a lady of a
beautiful character and well fitted for her new position.  She has been
for many years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and still
lives to bless his home.
   In 1850 Judge Aylsworth removed to Providence, R. I., where he was
well known and had many friends. His excellent judgment and judi-
cious management of the interests entrusted to him, soon brought him
plenty of business.   He was for a year a director of the Atlantic Bank,
and was the first president of the Jackson Bank.  In the same year,
1854, he became a member of the first board of directors of the Me-

Page 251

chanic' Savings Bank, and of the loaning committee; and for nearly
twenty years he was its vice-president.  His directorship continued un-
til 1878, when he declined a re-election. During this entire period, in
full compliance with the spirit of the law of the State forbidding offi-
cera of savings banks becoming indebted to the bank, he would allow
no paper bearing his name even as endorser to be accepted.  In three
years the bank was flourishing and successful, standing in the first rank
of such institutions; and it is only just to say that much of its high
character was due to his careful guardianship.
   In 1856 he was elected president of the Westminster Bank, which
position he still (1887) holds.  At that time the stock, with a par value
of 50, was worth only 40.  It is now worth 60.  The capital has in-
creased from $109,000 to $200,000, and the bank has a surplus of $60, 
000.  The president modestly attributes a large share of this success to
a good board of directors.  And the Judge asserts, with a becoming
pride and satisfaction, that in the thirty-one' years of his connection with
these several institutions he has not borrowed a dollar from anyone of
them.  He has been engaged in many real estate transactions, and has,
as assignee, executor, or administrator, settled about thirty estates, some
of them very large, and one of over a million of dollars.  He, as agent,
has invested a large amount for other people, and has loaned some hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars on western farm lands, and has given ad-
vice and assistance in these and other matters to many of his friends
without money or price.
   In political life Judge Aylsworth has had few ambitions. Yet in 1854,
1866, and 1867, he was honored with a seat in the General Assembly of
Rhode Island, and in the last two was a member of the important com-
mittee on finance.
  He has always been on the side of liberty and right.  In the presi-
dential election of 1824, the first after he attained his majority, he cast
his vote for John Quincy Adams.  He affiliated with the Whig party, as
in his judgment the most in accordance with human freedom and the
hest interests of the country.  He was al ways an anti-slavery man, and
when pro-slaveryism entered on its struggle for the control of the nation,
his whole soul revolted, and he heartily joined the Republican ranks at
the organizatian of the party in 1856.  In temperance, he has been all
his life a habitual abstainer from intoxicating drinks, and is recognized
as a non-partizan prohibitionist, willing to accept the restraints of a
stringent, properly enforced license law. He is an intense hater of to-
hacco in all its forms.
   On coming to Providence he connected himself with the Matthewson
Street Methodist Episcopal Congregation, of which he is still a mem-
her.  He was a member of the finance committee that in 1873 undertook
successfully the task of removing its debt of nearly ten thousand dol-
lars, and is a contributor to every good movement of the church.

   The Judge has taken a deep interest in the preparation of this family history and 
has contributed liberally to its publication. 
   He is passing a serene old age in comfort, gradually disencumbering himself of
weighty cares, and enjoying the society of his family and friends.

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,

DEATH OF JOSEPH P. AYLEWORTH.             
 
[From Newport (R. I.) Dally News, .April 24, 1884.]                 

   The flag of Rhode Island Lodge on Odd Fellows' building is at half-mast out of 
respect to the late Joseph P. Aylsworth, who died last night after a long illness. In 
his death the Rhode Island Lodge of Odd Fellows and Aquidneck Encampment 
have lost one of their oldest and most faithful members, one who was always at his 
post of duty and who never allowed a brother to want either for sympathy or 
financial aid.  He joined the lodge in 1846, and at the time of his death was 73 years 
of age.  He has been associated with Mr. Thomas Crosby in the management of the 
bathing houses at Easton's Beach for many years, and had made a large number of 
friends from all sections of the country who will be pained to learn of his death.  He 
was familiarly known as " Uncle Josy," and was addressed in this manner by the rich 
and poor alike.  He always knew faces, and no one who trusted him with their 
valuables while they were enjoying a bath had ever cause to regret it, as the articles 
were never given to the wrong person.  The deceased leaves an untarnished name as 
a heritage to his family and friends.
