• Notes

  Ellsworth was educated in the common schools of his native town and received a business college course in Minnesota, to which state the family moved in 1876. He came to North Dakota with his parents in 1883, living on his homestead in Dickey county until 1900 in which year he moved to Elliott, In his political views Ellsworth was a Republican and when in Dickey county held the office of assessor in his township. He was also school clerk for eight years and afterward was called to the position of assessor and was also clerk in James River Valley township. Since his removal to Ransom county he was for ten years clerk in Elliott township and assessor for four years. Still higher political honors, however, were conferred upon him by his fellow townsmen who recognized his worth and ability, for in 1911 he went to Bismarck as the representative of the fourteenth district, which includes Ransom county. He was again asked to become a member of the general assembly but refused.
