        PORTER AYLESWORTH is a native of Ohio, and a sone of GILES and MARY
     AYLSWORTH, the former a native of New York, and the latter of Pennsyl-
     vania.  His parents came to this township in 1842, where his father
     taught school in the winters of 1842 and 1843.  They had 440 acres in
     a home farm and 102 acres in various tracts.  His father died in June,
     1880, and his mother in October, 1879.  PORTER AYLSWORTH received but
     a spare education.  He was married in 1856 to Miss CATHARINE
     SHINABARGER, a native of Ohio.  To this union there were six children
     - ELVA, GILES C., THOMAS M., MARY, CORBIN and JOHN.  Mr. and Mrs.
     AYLSWORTH commenced housekeeping on his present place, in a house
     burned three weeks afterward.  He now has a fine farm of 106 acres,
     with good buildings and improvements.  He was Justice of the Peace
     seven years in Iowa, where he lived eleven years, and held the same
     office about two years in this township.  Mr. and Mrs. AYLSWORTH are
     members of the Christian Church.
