Portrait from Champion's studio

This portrait is from A.H. Champion's studio in Greensburg. We believe the women are Net and Jen Upjohn, daughters of Frank and Martha Upjohn. Jeanette Upjohn married Dr. Charles Bruce Ainsworth, son of Charles Isaac and Rachel M. (Kitchin) Ainsworth. We previously posted a photo of Dr. Ainsworth's sisters.

Family photo with seated dog

This group photo is from the Decatur County Historical Society's Ainsworth Collection. I love that the dog gets the best seat!

Civil War Regimental Reunion

This is another photo of a group of men outside the Decatur County Courthouse in Greensburg. The one we posted previously can be dated to pre-1903 because the courthouse was still the original brick. In this photo, the courthouse has been covered with stone-like stucco, so it was taken after 1903. If you look closely, you can see that the men are wearing ribbons, so this could be another group of Civil War veterans, perhaps attending a regimental reunion. Since this photo is from the Ainsworth collections at the Decatur County Historical Society, it's possible that this is the Seventh Illinois Cavalry, the regiment Charles Ainsworth served with.

Daughters of Charles and Rachel Ainsworth

The daughters of Charles Isaac and Rachel M. (Kitchen) Ainsworth: Clara (Gilmour), Harriet (Hattie) (Weaver), Jessie P. (Scherer), and Grace (Edkins). This print is mounted on a card from A. H.'s Champion's studio in Greensburg. This photo is from the Ainsworth collections at the Decatur County Historical Society.
