• Notes

  Attorney of the Supreme Court and practised in Grahamstown. M.L.A. representing Queenstown and Grahamstown 1864-85. Colonial Secretary 1855. Info supplied by Peter SMITS, PO Box 976, Plettenberg Bay 6600. Queenstown Free Press: Tuesday October 27, 1885 Death of Jonathan AYLIFF, Esq., M.L.A. The cable news that the ex-Colonial Secretary had passed away on 20th inst., in London, was received with general feelings of regret. In these times of self-seeking the loss of men of such known integrity as attached to Mr. AYLIFF is keenly felt. As an old resident of Grahamstown his personality will there be missed the most, but his removal by death will be felt throughout the Colony. With a lawyer’s training, Mr. AYLIFF plunged into politics and entered into the Cape Parliament, representing Grahamstown. Under Mr UPINGTON, Mr. AYLIFF was offered the Colonial Secretaryship, which he accepted and only resigned on account of ill health. Mr AYLIFF married a daughter of the late Hon. George WOOD. To the widow and children and relatives, we tender the sympathy of the district. We shall hope to give an account of Mr. AYLIFF’s blameless life in our next issue.
