Picture of William Ainscough



Here is a picture of William Ainscough.  This picture shows him in his later years.  This is the only picture the family has had as long as I can remember. Just last fall in 2007 I found a second picture in Smithfield, in the city museum. The city had published a book about it's history, and in it was a picture of William in the ward choir. I will post that picture soon.

He looks a little droopy eyed in this photograph, but I guess after all the "pioneering" he did in his life, he is entitled!

You forgot to mention about his eye; that he had it pecked out by a (was it a ) chicken? *S*

Thats right Sharon, when William was a child his eye was pecked by a chicken, blinding him in that eye. Yet with that difficult problem to live with, he went on and became a great pioneer.
