Henry Edgarton Ellsworth, son of Ebenezer Russell and Maria Smith Ellsworth, was born in Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, August 7, 1866. He attended the public schools of Conneautville and, from them, went to the high school at Linesville, from which he was also graduated.
Three years were spent as news agent on the Erie and Pittsburgh Railway, after which he became a brakeman on a passenger train for the same company. In 1887, he established himself in the photographic business in Conneautville, after having been in the employ of someone in this line of business for one year. At the end of a year, he sold this business and in behalf of the Keystone View Company, traveled through the country, taking pictures of notable groups and buildings, and continued this employment five years. He then started in this line independent, employing six men who traveled for him. At the end of seven years he sold this business, and in 1897, took up studio work at Meadville, with which he has been identified since that time. While he commenced this on a very modest scale, owing to a lack of the necessary funds, his excellent and reliable work has enabled him to build up a business which is second to none of its kind in that section of the country. He is now the owner of several buildings in Meadville, the result of his indefatigable industry and skill.
He is a member of the Sons of Veterans, having successively filled the offices of sergeant, second lieutenant, first lieutenant and captain in this body. His religious affiliation is with the Baptist church, to which many of the Ellsworths have belonged in earlier generations.
Mr. Ellsworth married, June 2, 1909, at Meadville, Ella Josephine, born at Round Bottom, Monroe county, Ohio, March 10, 1888, youngest child of Richard Ernest and Mary Ann Schamback. Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth had the following children: Fanny Lucile, born July 29, 1912, and Jessie Doris, born September 28, 1913.
Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania, 1915, p. 1288, openlibrary.org.
Sympathy is extended to the family of H. E. Ellsworth of Meadville, who died suddenly Friday evening in the Meadville City Hospital. Mr. Ellsworth recently fell and fractured his shoulder.
Mrs. Harland Corliss of Townville is a daughter of Mr. Ellsworth, and Patricia Corliss is the only grandchild.
