tion of Prof. J. A.. Fowler, a then celebrated teacher
and composer, having charge
of the musical department of the Cherry
Valley Female Academy, at that time a
flourishing institution
located at Cherry Valley, N.Y. Here he made such rapid
improvement that two
years later he, was sufficiently advanced to embark in
teaching piano
and organ music; and as necessity compelled the effort to be made
in his
own behalf, he visited Ann Arbor, Mich., then a young growing town of
the
West, where he engaged in teaching vocal and instrumental
music. He also had
classes at Dexter, Chelsea, and Ypsilanti,
neighboring villages, and remained at
Ann Arbor and Dexter until the summer of
1875, when he visited Illinois, destined
to be his future home. His stopping place was Williamsville, near
Springfield,
where he had relatives. He remained in that vicinity teaching district school and
music
until the spring of 1859.
His father having died in December, 1858, leaving his
business affairs in an
unsettled condition. Homer E., with his brother,
Henry M., also teaching in the
West, returned to the widowed mother and younger brother in the East, in the
spring of 1859, and resumed
for a time the business and duties of farm life,
carrying on the old
homestead. He found it necessary to institute a suit in the
supreme
court to recover the title to the patrimonial estate, which had been placed
in the hands of a relative who refused to transfer it to the rightful
heirs. This suit he
prosecuted with great energy and ability, and succeeded
in recovering the title to
the property, although the litigation
ended only in the court of appeals, the tribunal
of last resort in the State.
The following year he resumed his studies, completing
his preparatory course of
study at Cooperstown Seminary, then
under the able management of Prof. R. C.
Flack, and in 1861 entered
Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., for the Scientific
course, and
graduated with his class in 1863, notwithstanding the want of means
compelled him to teach for about twelve weeks during the winter months
of each
of the years of his college course. He was a thorough student. During
the period
of his college course he not only kept up with his college examinations but found
time, besides teaching. all stated,
to prepare and deliver a number of lectures on
music, geology,
chemistry, and other scientific subjects traversed by him in his
college
course, which were ably prepared and well received, evincing thorough
familiarity with the subjects treated. and a breadth of intellect possessed by
few.
After his graduation he was engaged for a year as vice-principal in
a preparatory
school located at Newburg, on the Hudson, after
the close of which engagement he
returned to Illinois,
and soon, commenced the study of medicine at Roseville, in that
State, which he ever after-ward made his home. He attended medical lectures at
Ann Arbor, Mich., and graduated from the Medical Department of the
University
Page 351
of Michigan at that place in 1867. Returning to
Roseville he engaged in the active
practice of medicine. which calling he
followed for a year and then founded the .
'Pioneer Drug Store"
at Roseville and developed its trade, which business he
successfully conducted until his death.
In June, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Flora A
Eldredge, foster
daughter of Truman Eldredge, Esq., of Roseville, one of the sturdy and prosperous
pioneers of Warren County, a lady of culture and refinement, who still survives him.
to care for the three children. which were the fruits of their marriage.
He was
prosperous in business, and saving in his habits. but life proved too short, in his
case, for the accumulation of a fortune, although his family are left, with economy,
a comfortable support.
The latter years of his life were employed in collecting the data for
a record or
history of the Aylsworth Family, dating back
from the time of ARTHUR, the
Emigrant. To this task he addressed
himself with his accustomed zeal and energy,
and labored with
indefatigable industry. Besides writing many thousand letters he
visited
different sections in various States, and in Canada, where the family had
been dispersed since its origin, at considerable personal expense, and had
the
satisfaction of knowing that his work was nearly completed. ready for the
compositor. when was compelled to lay down the pen that had recorded so many
deaths in the ancestral lineage before him, to take up, as we trust, the crown of
immortal life and touch the strings of a golden harp in the presence of the angels!
In
this task. which had become to him a labor of love, he had the pleasure of meeting
many pleasant acquaintances, some of whom have kindly and generously assisted
and contributed to this great work since his death. But he left it, as a
chronological
and genealogical record, substantially as the reader finds it, its publication having
devolved upon others whose names I would gladly mention had I sufficient
information upon the subject.
In his domestic relations he was a kind husband and an indulgent
father, and will
be missed through the coming years most by the object of his greatest solicitude in
life. his son, Murray, who has the misfortune to have been crippled from his
birth,
with no hope of recovery.
He was an exemplary citizen, ever lending support to the leading
reforms. A
temperance man himself all his life and deploring the ruin that intemperance so
often invites upon individuals and families, he conscientiously abolished
alcoholic
stimulants from the list of commodities kept for sale in his place of business
Though
this brought opposition in the way of competition in trade, he could not be induced
to compromise with what he considered morally wrong for the sake of
pecuniary
gain. A conscientious adherence to what he considered right was the ruling
principle of his life.
At the early age of thirteen years he experienced religion and united,
with the .M.
E. Church. which membership he retained at the time of
Page 352
his death. Though sparing in the matter of personal expenditures. he gave
liberally,
according to his means, to the cause of religion. and promoted at all times,
and all
circumsatances, the interest of the church. He was in very deed a worker in the
vineyard of the Lord. He was seldom absent from the prayer meeting, and
Sabbath
found him generally with the worshippers. He was chorister, and also
Superintendent of the Sabbath School in his church at the time of his death,
where
he was very much beloved. Indeed his death, it is thought, resulted from a cold
contracted in sitting chilled in church the Sabbath before.
And so in the mid-day of his manhood, in the full strength of his
intellectual
powers, while absorbed in his life work and engrossed in the performance of
his
life's duties, on the 30th day of January, 1885, he passed on to join the majority
on the other shore of the river that borders the green fields of everlasting life, there
to rest from his labors and receive his reward. .
