Death OF Byron Aylesworth.


1t was with great regret that our
community learned of the death OF
Byron o. Aylesworth, one of the
pioneer residents of Denison, and ever
an honored and respected man. At
flicted with an incurable disease, he
nevertheless made the best of the
struggle of life, treating all of his fell
lowmen justly and honorably, and be-
ing kind and affectionate husband
and father and true Christian in the
highest sense of that word. Had it
not been for this handicap placed upon
him by nature as result of his patri-
otic efforts in behalf of the Union, Mr..
Aylesworth would have found life much
happier and more worth the living.
, For many years he has been con-
firmed invalid, and through all OF it he
has received the loving and patient
care of his beloved wife. No woman
could be more devoted and more whole
hearted in her affection. 1t became
her mission in life to care for her in
valid husband, and how we'll she has
done it, and with what self sacrifice it
has been done, will never be known to
but few.
When we realize the simple pathos
of the tragedy of Mr.. Aylesworth's life
we feel that we can never sound the
depth of the sacrifices that have been
made that this country might be one
and inseparable, and forever free. We
feel that our sacrifices are inconsider-
able In comparison, that it is our dnty
to maintain all the liberties for which
he and his fellows fought, and that
ANYTHING less is to dishonor his mem
ory and the memory of those who died
upon the field of battle, or who offered
themselves as willing sacrifices for the
cause of freedom.
Byron Aylesworth was born in Chau-
tauqua County, New York, Oct. 1886.
There he lived until 1862, when he en-
listed in the service of his country,
serving for three years in the Seventh
New York Regiment of Sharp-shooters
In 1866 he was married in New York
to Olive Alias, and the same year came
west to Wisconsin. The following
year the family came to this vicinity
lived for many years on farm nea,
Delcit, and have since 1857 lived ir
Z this locality.
In the army Mr.. Aylesworth became
subject to epilepsy, which ailmen
remaining with him for many years
subjected him to feeble health. In re
cent years he has been deprived of th'
full exercise of his mental powers, thu
being unable to enter into diversion
of business, pleasure of social life ant
joys of home. Such a cloud upon lif
casts its two.fold shadows, the depriva
tions of the individual life and tn
tender ministrations of loved ones un
recognized. aud the unwearied service
without full conscious appreciation t
inspire them. Oar sympathies ar
elected by those who suffer with menta
faculties active and healthful, by thos
who serve when bouyed up by the cor
scious comfort and rewarded by tn
expressed gratitude of those who linge
but when the mental powers are dis
