AYLESWORTH – At Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, on Friday October 8th, 1909, Jehiel Aylesworth, aged 72 years.
Death of Jehiel Aylesworth – Another of Napanee’s old landmarks has passed away in the person of Jehiel Aylesworth. Forty-seven years ago he commenced business in our town as a grocer and soon won his way to the hearts of his customers, by his fair dealing and his bright and cheerful manner. Several years later, he embarked in the wholesale trade which he continued under his personal superintendence until stricken down by his last illness. For several years, Mr. Aylsworth sat at the council Board and in 1891, was chosen as Chief Magistrate of the town, a position which he filled with great credit to himself and with general satisfaction to the whole community. He was both a progressive and aggressive man. He looked far ahead and endeavoured in all his public acts to build well for the future, and when he once outlined a plan of action he had the courage of his convictions and hesitated not to express his views regardless of the favour they might find with his audience. He was satisfied to wait until time demonstrated the correctness of those views. During the last few months of his life he suffered intense agony, but bore it with a patience and fortitude so strongly characteristic of his whole life, until death came to his relief on the 7th inst. The funeral took place from his late residence to St. Mary Magdalene church on Sunday afternoon when the service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Dibb. The Masonic Order testified to the high esteem in which he was held by them, by turning out in large numbers to pay their last tribute of respect to his memory. At the request of the deceased his brethren of Union Lodge performed their beautiful ceremony over his grave. In the passing of Jehiel Aylsworth, Napanee loses one of the few remaining citizens of the old school who have done so much to mould the destinies of our town.

Son of John5 Aylsworth and Hannah Almira Brisco. He married Elizabeth Hume and they were the parents of 4 known children: James Leslie, Emma, Mabel Anna, and Flossa.
