Read More	An early homesteader of this vicinity, Richard Ainsworth located originally on a claim in Grant Township in May, 1873. He was a native of Lancashire, England, the only child of Joseph and Isabella (Woods) Ainsworth who were farmers of that vicinity. Here he grew to manhood. Following his mother's death, his father married a second time, to Maria Culsha, subsequently becoming the parents of a rather large family. Richard Ainsworth convinced he should continue his career in the "new World" immigrated to the United States in 1866 and resumed farming in the state of Minnesota. Seven years later, in May, 1873, he settled in Dakota territory; locating in Grant township, proving up on this land and later trading it for another farm in Lynn township. Subsequently he became owner of a half section of land in the foregoing townships. From his scant possessions of a team and wagon and little money when he came to this county, erecting a small sod shanty, he continued his labors and became quite prosperous. Mr. Ainsworth married twice. His first bride was Miss Mary Balderston, whom he married in Minnesota and to whom one daughter, Isabelle, was born. Following her death about two years after coming to Dakota, he married Miss Jannet Curry, who, of Scotch birth, grew to womanhood at Toronto, Canada, where her parents had moved when she was but a child. This union was blest with six children, namely: James, Joseph, Alice, Annie Violet and Paul. They were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
