General Notes: Husband - Henry Edgarton Ellsworth


He attended the public schools at Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and from there went to the high school at Linesville, from which he was also graduated. Three years were spent as news agent on the Erie & Pittsburgh Railway, after which he became a brakeman on a passenger train for the same company. In 1887 he established himself in the photographic business in Conneautville, after having been in the employ of someone in this line of business, for one year. At the end of a year he sold this business, and in behalf of the Keystone View Company, traveled through the country, taking pictures of notable groups and buildings, and continued this employment five years. He then started in this line independent, employing six men who traveled for him. At the end of seven years he sold this business, and in 1897 took up studio work at Meadville. While he commenced this on a very modest scale, owing to a lack of the necessary funds, he built up a business which was second to none of its kind in that section of the country. He became the owner of several buildings in Meadville, the result of his indefatigable industry and skill. He was a member of the Sons of Veterans, having successively filled the offices of sergeant, second lieutenant, first lieutenant and captain in that body. His religious affiliation was with the Baptist church, to which many of the Ellsworths belonged in earlier generations. [GPHWP, 1287]
