Mr. and Mrs. Postmaster

While snooping around on Ancestry.com for my last post, I came across these photographs of Frank and Susanne (Chase) Coyle.

Frank's photo was taken in 1885, according to notes on the site, and Susanne's was likely taken around the same time, to judge by the style of her dress and her apparent age. (She was born in 1867, he in 1859; both in Pennsylvania.) So add 15 years to these portraits, and you've got Mr. and Mrs. Ainsworth Postmaster.

I did send a message to the person who uploaded these to Ancestry.com, hoping for some insight as to why the Coyles moved from Kansas to Ainsworth, Indiana, but I haven't received a reply.
