Just Two More, I Promise

I just wanted to mention two more people with slender Ainsworth connections who died in 1910:

1. Horace Marble. Remember him? He died June 15, 1910, after a long and fruitful life. His Ainsworth connection is that his first wife, Mary, is buried in Chester Cemetery. Her grave marker is in pieces on the ground.

2. Howard Eugene Halsted. He was the only son of Willard and Barbara Halsted, who ran a store in Ainsworth from around 1888 to 1904. Howard spent his early childhood here, but the family moved to Hobart when he was 14 and he did the rest of his growing up there. He was a second-year law student at Indiana University in Bloomington when illness forced him to withdraw. The family went to Texas in December 1909 hoping that the mild southern winter would prevent his illness from worsening. It was no use. Howard died in Austin on March 3, 1910, at only 21 years of age. His parents brought him home to Hobart for burial in Crown Hill Cemetery.



I have not exhausted the inventory of 1910 Ainsworth-connected deaths, but I can't take it anymore.
