The Aylesworth Family

A Bright and Interesting Group of Sherburne, N.Y.

 

Father, Mother and Twelve Children

The Remarkable Aylesworth Family, of Sherburne, N.Y., a Circle Unbroken by Death

 

Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY]:  In the columns of the Globe today is presented a picture of the Aylesworth family of this village.  It is a most interesting picture, showing, as it does, Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Aylesworth and their 12 children. Every member of the family is in the best of health. The eldest child is 32 and the youngest 5.  Mr. Aylesworth is a carpenter by trade and is held in high esteem by all who know him.  He is 51 years old and his wife is 49.  Both appear younger than they are and when seen with their children would be taken for the eldest brother and sister of the group.

 

There has never been a death in this large family and it is the hope of their friends that many years with pass before the happy and interesting circle is broken. 

 

The grandparents of Mr. and Mrs. Aylesworth were also blessed with large families, one of which numbered 13 children and the other 14.
