The Duke of Ainsworth

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

Here is Franklin Lindborg — alias "The Duke," according to his sister, Mildred — standing in downtown Ainsworth. At left in the background is the former Sauter's Place; I do not know who owned or occupied that building in the early or mid-1920s, when this photo was probably taken.

Behind Franklin's boater and left hand, you can see William Raschka's grain warehouse.

A second photo on the same page in the album shows Franklin again (at right), with a friend — identity unknown, for the caption just calls him "Bud."

19b Bud and Sonny
