Ainsworth Unsheared

This image from the 1926 Plat Map shows (approximately) the 80-acre tract that Calvin Shearer sold in 1918.


With the sale of his 80-acre farm to William Foreman in June 1918, Calvin C. Shearer and his family ceased to be Ainsworthites in any way.

It was only temporary, as we know. The lure of Ainsworth would eventually pull the Shearer family back in.
